: Hey Kiwi, had some real bad luck there. With regards to the LCD screen,if you mean climate control unit, (mine's a series 1 f/mont, orange display) it started to "fade" then l lost 1/2 my numerals. Did some research & through a business associate had only my LCD screen replaced (common problem apparently) all up $150 with warranty, been ok for @1yr now. Anyhoo, whilst trawling a ford forum recently l came across a company here in Melbourne who do repairs, apparently you remove the unit & post it to them, may be worth looking around but l wouldn't pay what Ford are asking. l believe series 2/3 are the same problem/price. easy to remove, (screw behind clock ring) but MUST be reprogrammed when reinstalled, also easy when u know someone who's done it before. Lemme know if ya need any assistance, only too happy to help. Breast of luck!!!!
