IPK self repairs
 
My IPK had become virtually unreadable, loads of vertical blank lines. Went on unusually long trip for me today. After nearly 100miles the IPK was only missing a couple of lines and was easily readable. I wonder what the self repair mode was? I hope it stays fixed as I was planning to remove it to attempt a repair myself ,not necessary now.

They don't stay fixed if they get cold again though it will start to go again. ��

Contact Rick at MG Rover Custom parts, a trader on here. He does a delining service or if he can still get the IPK displays replace it. He did my 75 last year and having watched him solder the new display unless you are competent with fine electronic soldering I would recommend leaving it to him.

It's a breakdown of the carbon tracks in the ribbon cable to the screen just before the LCD signal processor.
Heat and vibration both cause and temporarily repair this.
Constantly using the mph display on long trips can make it degrade further as the system was only designed for intermittent use when a message was displayed..
