may be able to repair? Try bba reman, they are into all that. I looked into this with my colour screen as it has a bad pixel and could be a sign of pending failure similar to yours. The prices quoted to me would not make your repair viable. BUT, yours is a obviously a diff. model and needs quoting on its own merit. Myn needs to be depaired from the head unit via tech 2 before removal so as to make it programmable to a second unit, other wise on re sale it is useless to the buyer. BUT AGAIN, yours is differant model and i do not know if this applys to you. Other senior members will advise i am sure. Maybe have a look/post in ice section. Hope this helps and does not confuse the issue further.

Hi pete elite and chris gixer...thanks for the information....to repair they where asking a lot of money...but managed to get one off ebay from your recommendation....did try another guy off ebay...he was advertising a unit at a fixed price ,spoke to him and said he would double check, he phoned me back said it was now rare and was going to auction it instead.....somewhere near heathrow is his advert....not cricket that old boy...so beware oif you come accross him.
thanks again chaps much appreciated.

Missing lines of pixels is common on early type MIDs.  Certainly not many left that don't have some kind of pixel issue now.

The MID needs to come from same model (ie Omega), engine size, and transmission type, else will need reprogramming via Tech2.

Later MIDs, fortunately more reliable, need to come from same model, engine size, transmission, tyre size (whether 225/55 or something else), headlight style, and aux heater...
