Hello

Is it common problem that mileage / on board computer display is not working properly.
When i press clocks with my hand it is working again, some days it is little bit dim and some days it is working okay. I think there is some kind of contact fault / cold solder.

Can i replace clocks with another one, or should i get that current instrument cluster repaired?
 
Dont think it's that common, if I remember right there is a connection between the middle of the clocks and the circuit board behind, is that where your pressing on it?

If you want to replace clocks you will either need to find some with similar mileage or less than you already have, using CLIP you can add miles but not deduct miles... p.s. I have a set of 197 dials with 70k on them of you need :wink:
 
Strange it is working now fine. I applied little pressure with my thumb in that plexi whic is front of dials. There is little loose connection somewhere..
