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.
