Themoog is on a distinguished road
Car has a secret...

Right. Yesterday I was twiddling my thumbs and I happened across a video on YouTube about the cluster pixel repair.
The pixels on mine have been all broken up for as long as I've had the car and I remembered that I had a repair kit so I thought I'd have a go.
Removed the cluster, got the glass front off and was presented with 3 of the warning lights covered with black insulation tape.. ABS, 4x4 and another which I can't remember. Hmm - someone has been here before but it must have been over 10 years ago.
I plugged it back into the car and sure enough those lights were on permanently.
Oddly though, the car drives OK and has no codes stored. I know the abs is working as I can see it on the live data stream with the diagnostic.
It's also passed 10 years of Mots which I thought if the lights on the dash don't show up then go ff was a fail..
What do I do now? Sort it properly or re blank the lights, chuck it back in the car and pretend it never happened.. 🤔
