Yeah, the display was an optional upgrade.
On a separate note, been a lovely weekend and the first time this year I have noticed the a/c isn't working. Quick investigation noted the compressor clutch wasnt engaging so I plugged in the diagnostic. Either the pressure switch is faulty, or...Leave a comment:
