'02 3.0 with 95K miles. I have tracked MPG, every expense, etc. on a spreadsheet since day one. Now, half the pixels are missing and I can't get accurate odometer readings, my trip meter can't be read, and the outside temperature might as well be non-existant. Very expensive car to own and maintain! How much is the cluster part?
