Hello all, occasional lurker, first time poster. Hopefully someone can help.
I have 2 Fiats, a Panda 4x4 TwinAir (2018) and a Punto Pop+ (2015) and have now been tasked with repairing a family member's Panda Pop (2012), one of the first of the current shape.
The central display in the instrument cluster (the one that shows the date, time, fuel, water temp etc) has practically stopped displaying anything, with only the top line partially showing, so you can still toggle between various functions and have some idea of the fuel range etc.
I understand that this is a relatively common fault in other Fiats, possibly Pandas also, that have been stored in damp conditions for long periods of time, and this one has for much of its life. It sees barely 3000 miles of use a year.
A company in Waterlooville in Hampshire (Cartronix) has quoted to repair it, but they require the removed unit to be sent to them, so I need to figure out how best to do that without muckling the dashboard in the process.
I have searched this forum but there seems to be an absence of threads on this particular topic - can anyone kindly offer some assistance, or a link to something that might help?
