Any one with a broken air con unit?

[Mr Rob]

I've had my car for 12 months now and not long after i'd got it i noticed the LCD on the aircon unit was starting to go black as if the screen had cracked. It then started on the other side. I hadn't knocked it. Although it functions fine the screen is totally unreadable.

Anyway i was wondering if anyone had a broken unit lying around that they would like to get rid of. My plan is to swap the good LCD with mine and as i repair electronics for a job i can't see this being a problem.

New units are £425 and 2nd hand ones i've been watching in ebay are going for around £150.

thanks

Seems to be quite a common thing mine is also the same functions perfectly but screen is all messed up. Has anyone ever attempted to source the screen on it own and fit it, can this be done as it would be a by far cheaper alternative.
