Hi all, just as an update, thanks to the boy who gave me the info I was able to buy/win a Brand new screen in original factory sealed bag.
Good price about £120 including postage.
Will keep you posted when it arrives.
Will take some pictures of unit when replacing the screen and then post them up. :y

If you won a brand spankers gen VX screen for £120 then put another tenner on the numbers on Saturday.  Split the winnings with you!  Well done... :y

That is approx the price of a new LCD panel.  I think I paid $170 Canadian dollars delivery for the panel thats now in your car.

As an aside, your old panel is behaving itself too well - didn't want to swap over until I had a photo of what a corrupt screen looks like ;D.  I need to do something, as currently it claims I am achieving 75mpg, and have a range of 1200m.  In my dreams ;D

O yes my old panel is behaving itself!!! If I was lucky on starting up in the morning the screen would come on clear as a bell, but in my mind I would here the Sat Nav voice say:
“You now have 10 seconds to change the radio station before self destruction, please make a little u turn”  lol. ;D ;D

I changed my 126 panel for a 136 about 3 years ago (for exactly the same problem that you have), and the 136 is absolutely fine. I have the specs of both somewhere, they are almost identical in spec. If you can source a 136, its a fairly easy process if you are familiar with handling electronics.

Good luck

Hi TB, got the new screen today well went and fetched it from parcel force in Stoke on Trent around a 30 mile trip. They would have posted it but that may have taken a day or two, needed to get it up and running before going back to work.

Had to pay VAT on the item and a handling charge to parcel force £24, but still ok really overall cost £144.
I have put the old screen back in to take a picture of the scrambled screen but is now only displaying the blank white screen so have taken a couple of pics of these if you want them links below.
I am now going to put the new screen in and try it out will post the outcome later. :)
