So after driving around for almost a year with no info display, I pulled it apart and attacked it with the soldering iron - must have been a dry solder joint somewhere because it now works perfectly

I can't tell you exactly which component needed the touch-up, I just went across as many of them as I could

I thought this was mentioned earlier as the most common fix (By Ric I think). Good to hear you got it fixed

They say it's a hit and miss fix... cos there are a fair few components on the board, plus my soldering iron isn't exactly what I'd define as 'fine tip'

Reminds me of those big soldering irons in metalwork, that you heat up with a big blowtorch. The tip was probably 3-4mm wide

pffft, 3-4mm? I used to have a soldering iron with a 3cm diameter tip I used in my previous job. Was for soldering leads onto 20x4mm copper bar for manufacture of transformers

We didn't get to solder cables onto transformers in year 7 metalwork

Clarence I'll give you $20 to solder mine unit.

Think about it you can make some money here.

Were is the meet up point ?

Could work... I guess if I can't fix it, it's no worse than what it is at the moment, right?

Harry make sure your clock fuse is working before you plug it back in after Tangles toys around with it

WTF? How do you make sure a fuse is working? But then if you check the fuse is working, it will no longer work. So you would need to install a new one and then check the new one out...

It was a joke

But on a serious note if you've never owned the car from new you should ensure that no one has put an oversized fuse in any of the circuits.
