If your lucky it's just the stalk.
Mine is broken, can't be bothered as it's just a gimmick really but some like everything to be in working order.
Last one I fixed needed a stalk and lots of soldering so be prepared.

Cheered for that mate put it on the to do list lol

Is it completely blank or are numbers slightly visible? Mine are slightly visible and once disassembled i found a slight burnt out soldered section so not a simple case of replacing the lcd display. I could of swapped for replacement clocks but didnt fancy losing my 55k mileage or paying to reset a new set of clocks as just wasnt worth it.
