    Have any 355 owners in the UK had a successful repair of the digital gear display? I have a segment down which I understand is pretty common and can't find any parts for it.

    I know Ricambi offer an exchange service but don't really fancy sending it to the States.
    Any advice or comments welcome.

    Cheers all.

    When looking at 355's last month I noticed most had missing sectors, including the one I eventually purchased.

    I did a lot of searching online and watched the YouTube video of the fix and then saw these on ebay.

    A local electronics wizz said he could do it and I'm happy to report the new display works perfectly on all gears and is bright and clear. All for $69nz and $10nz per LED (I bought 5 just to be safe)

    Is the display you bought significantly brighter? It looks like it lights up that entire pod now, but not sure if it did that before. Thanks.
