Bought my R53 about a year ago, 02 with only 29,000 miles on it, not a single scratch on the car, The only thing wrong with it when I bought it was the screen under the tachometer was broken (the one where it shows the outside temp, avg mpg etc) I'd really like to get it fixed, But when I got it checked out by the dealership when I first bought it they said the only way to fix it was to replace the entire tachometer which would run me about $700

Every so often(once every few months)the screen glitches out and looks like its starting try to display something but its just garbled and glitched out(90% of the time its just broken and blank), I've checked all the fuses and their fine, the dealership said something within the screens circuitry is broken and because its all one unit they'd have to replace the whole thing

I recently got my tax return back and I debating taking the plunge and just going for it and getting it done, But first wanted to see if you guys had any ideas for alternatives or just any possible solutions.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, Any help is much appreciated!
