Hi, My dash display has got loads of dead pixels and needs replacing. It's on an early (feb) 1997 3.0v6 elite. is it hard and are there many different ones just to make my life hard or will any omega one work?

I think there are different types depending on the model of car but the actual removal and replacing is easy

There are several different models, and each model can have several different firmware versions. You need to take yours out and look at the model number on the back (and see how many plugs and what clour they are).

Taking it out is a doddle. There's a guide on here for removing the instrument cluster. Just follow that. I have had mine out several times and can do it now in under 5 minutes :-)

I managed to get a replacement for my knackered MID, but it's from a 2.0 car (mines a 2.5) so the mpg is wildly optimistic. My local dealer quoted me £40 to reprogram it, with no guarentees it will work because they have never done it before and are not sure how (thier words, not mine!).

Good luck :-)

If you get one that doesn't match your model very much like yours Froezen then any of the admins with a tech2 can do it far cheaper than any Vx dealer will. See http://theboy.omegaowners.com
