Posted this in the technical section but never got a reply, so I'll try on here.......

My LCD is starting to show only part of the number, but if you press on the glass of the speedo it fully appears. Anyone had this...

Interesting. Isn't life just full of such pleasurable little mysteries to keep us from getting bored!!!

I wonder if this could be a static build up problem. I'm thinking that the speedo "glass" may be in fact some sort of plastic and by touching it your transferring the static charge into yourself or grounding it, thereby removing some static field around the display (sounds quite Star Trekish me thinks). In sure Scotty would ask, "Does the display return to faulty as soon as you remove your finger or does it work OK for a while" ?

Something similar happened to an old BMW 328i I used to own. It was a common problem that the solder used to fail on the points! Basically needed to get a solder gun on the points and re-heat to re set them.
