2002 Clio II Dash Display

[maclements]

posted this at renault forums a few days ago but thought I would get better luck here!

I have a 2002 Renault Clio II with this fault on the dashboard display.

If you can't make it out from the picture, the bottom half of the display is faded away, to give you a greater understanding, the millage reads 89795. I'm not sure if this is down to a faulty display, loose wire or a bulb? I think it may be a loose wire due to the fact that when the problem first came about, it was intermittent, sometimes it would be there, sometimes not, sometimes a slight bang in frustration on the dash would sort it, but now it doesn't lol.

Could anyone help me here? I will eventually obviously be taking the dashboard off, which I haven't done before but looking at previous posts doesn't seem too difficult, I would just like to know what i'm looking for before I take it all off!

I hope you guys can help!

Cheers guys!

Thanks for the reply! So what's this screw for, sorry if im missing something lol, the screw detaches the display and I need to replace it or something else?

you might not need to remove the dials but its easier, just on the back of the clocks tighten a screw and that should be it fixed. ive attatched a photo of what screw to tighten.
if you choose to remove clock then it should look like this.

just turn it over and tighten the screw i have hilighted red, hope this helps let me know how you get on

Wow, thank you mate that's brilliant! I was considering doing the LED conversion whilst i'm in there, do you recommend or is it a bit of a job? Cheers again!

that is something i dont know anything about lolol but there are guides on here on how to do it in the guide section

Sorry mate but to view the guides do i have to have paid the £10 subscription? There seem to be no threads of anything when I go into there.
