I managed to pick up a perfect one from scrappy for Project TB1 the other day, and nice and easy to change. Get it off same spec car (engine, tyres, xenons, aux heater, transmission) and it won't need programming ;)

Thats good  :) I'm tempted to wait and buy new from Vx as finding a good one to the same spec so far has been a nightmare.

Whats going on my car is averaging 24.5 or something like that, at the moment it doesn't get much motorway driving and only covers a 20mile trip a day I think my display is wrong in comparison to your V6's
IIRC, you'd be lucky to read much off your display  ;)
The only one I've seem worse is the original out of Project TB1.

Has you're MID been changed at any point?

Not as far as I know but the missing pixels seem to be down one side of the screen so reading the mileage isn't a problem.

You should get yourself a MID from a scrappy, got mint ones down there  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

If you get a MID but wrong spec for car, I'm sure you know someone who will Tech2 it for a piece of paper with the picture of the queen on it ;)

Shall carry on the search but in my area they are not the best you can get at scrappies and what also doesn't help is the majority are GLS spec with the TID not full MID

Not sure when I will be down my local scrappy again, but I might be able to get a full MID, there were several cars with them still intact.

and the early MIDs have less functions than the later ones (IIRC, no Trip distnace or trip consumption on early units)

S'ok mate, doubt I will be down there for a while. Unless Jamie bangs on the door again and needs my services  ;) ;D

Think the 2.0 P Reg CDX still had its MID.
