I've noticed some segments from the display are missing so I cannot read the gear status or see the time properly. Is there a fairly simple method of fixing this or is it mega-bucks to remedy?

There is a DIY on how to fix this, loose ribbon cables

This seems to be a common problem on CLK's MB has done a recall for this fault on some other models but will not include CLK's in the recall.

Complain to MB HO - enough complaints they may decide to do something about this common problem.

Sadly for us this is a good money spinner for MB the charge you up to £1k for a new cluster,they keep the old one,it goes back and is modified and is then ready to fit on the next one. I knew that Tesco earn £5k a minute, this cant be far behind world wide.

Had mine fixed on my clk 430 for £150. It only took 15 minutes (damn) . He claimed the pixels go on the temp guage shortly after the clock goes,so he did both sides.2 months on and its fine.
DONT HAVE THE NUMBER LOST IT .
THE COMPANY ADVERTISE ON THE NET UNDER PIXEL REPAIRS I THINK.
