Further plus points to this workaround are that it's proved to 100% reliable and 100% accurate !!

A little presumptious on the reliability claim?

Kindly confirm after 98,000 miles.

All sarcasm aside, has anyone had any success with fixing this? Is the faulty LCD replaceable? Although already faulty I damaged the cable taking it out too. (1998 assembled 406 2.1 Diesel estate)
