I have a large crack along my display hood.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a replacement supplier.

good secondhand unit would be good. Not sure if they are repairable-certainly there are dash repairers who might be able to bring it back to scratch.

i'm pretty sure he's talking about the plastic pod over the instrument cluster.. not the dash itself. they become brittle with age, and usually crack / break when you remove them. therefore a 2nd hand unit is usually no good. even if you find one that isn't cracked, chances are it might crack when you try to fit it to the car.

If you are buying a new one, and not second hand just be aware that the new ones are a little different to the original. They made them more Matt to stop the amount of glare that reflects off it, and onto the windshield. So it wont match the rest of the plastic inside, like an old one.

thats exactly what im looking for
its been broken since i bought it and i thought it was bout time i should fix it

thanks very much

And the new version marks really easily. Mine was marked from the stuff it was packed in, even before it was fitted to my car.

Ive seen ones made out of cf....

my pod has just died
cracked all the way through
wun where have you seen these cf ones i reckon they would look good
