Ford 6000CD problem.
Repairable?
Believe it's known as the MK7, big square one with on/off control in middle, works fine but the screen is blank, occasionally displays
(backlight is fine) but more often than not nothing, bit of a pain as clock is part of the display plus whilst I know what stations I have tuned
finding one that isn't is impossible. Common fault, repairable? 2nd hand ones on eBay for around £50 but would prefer to fix if I can

Before my current job I was an autoelectrician. We used to have a guy come round and collect damaged head units and repair them as a repair service.
This, I believe is still common. So maybe contact your local autoelectrician and see if they can do it. Often they quote over the phone flat few
repairs.
Or look online for a similar service.
In terms of what the fault is, probably a broken ribbon inside that will connect the LCD display to the main board, or a loose conection in this
area.
If your handy with electronics, take it a part and have a go.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
