i could but that's too labour-intensive for me - when i would charge all hours it would get quite costly....
Okay but I will take you up on your cluster fix option! How long would it take to do?
And this is abit of a stupid question but can you drive the car without the clocks in? (I'll get a spear pair from scrap yard at some point)

Hi Gurt, what do you class as a competative pricse ? Surly the cost of postage to and from the Netherlands is going to be expensive is't it ?
He will work out £35-£40 cheaper than sending it away here but a couple of days slower due to out crap postal service. That is if he is still the same price as quoted to me.
If you send by 48 hour shipping is the postage not going to be more and the savings you make less

Repair + shipping on day of arrival if possible , or next day .
Shipping time is 3-4 working days in most cases.
You can drive your Stilo without the cluster without problems, i just don't know what the police would think of it when they would check your car....
You not got a satnav or android phone you could use as a speedo? Nafree for android is good and free. You get that on the google app store.
I have a iPhone so sure there will be a speedo app but it's just incase I get pulled and done it'd make my insurance 10x more
I would not recommend driving your car without the instrument cluster installed as th car would be classed as unroadworthy. Is it worth the risk ? What happens if you get stopped or the police see your car parked up with no instrument cluster?
Personally I don't think it's worth the risk to save a few quid. When I had mine repaired I took the cluster out and went to Dashtec in my van.
Just my thoughts
Whereabouts are you ? Would it not be cheaper to take it somewhere local to you for repair instead of having to pay for one from a scrapyard? By the time you have spent money on another cluster and sent yours off for repair you will have spent more than £120
I asked my local garage and they can't do it or couldn't recommend anyone to do it either as its a "specialist Job" so they said but there is a garage near me that are specialist electrics for cars but I'm yet to ask them I'll pop in tommorow and see what they quote but they'll probably charge a bomb!
But I'll let you guys know!
Also noticed it's no longer flashing? But got to be a fault if it's done it before?

If it's working at th momemt make sure the battery stays charged and search around for someone to repair it locally. If it's gone wrong ones it's only a matter of time before if fails completly.
If you let people know where you are someone might know of a repairer near you

Cant mind the forum member name but someone went in and they did it while he waited. Was it you PhilipB?
That's the company I used - but that address is wrong. They have moved to Unit 5, Halifax Road, Desbury, WF13 4AP
