I have a Mk2 8v Digi with a goosed MFA LCD screen. Was the same when I got the car, but it's obviously taken a knock over the years and the LCD is now semi obscured with black. Is it a rocking horse poo part to find and will it be a b!tch to replace, given that the car is a daily driver?

nah can find loads of mk2 gti dash clocks on ebay, just make sure they're the right type to match your fusebox.
hazard switch on dash = 2 plug dash, hazard switch on column = 1 plug dash.
you could if you feel handy with the screwdrivers strip your clocks down and swap in another lcd screen, not sure if the screen comes off the pcb easily. if it does you could use a screen from some non-mfa clocks, otherwise it would need to be from an mfa dash i think. needs to be the same type of clockjs too, i.e. same number of plugs and same manufacturer.
to retain your milage swap the speedo over, its dead easy only a few screws and a pit o pcb to unclip from the back

I'll start looking into replacing it seriously then. I had accepted it as being perma-fooked.

I have exactly the same issue, but will have some VDO guages going in soon.. hopefully.
Let me know how easy it is if you end up changing the clocks as i will probably do the same in the future.

have a read of the guide on how to change the dash lights, shows you how to remove the cluster :)
