My dash pixels need replacing im based in the north west can anyone point me in the right direction and roughly the cost involved, im new in the x5 world this week but love the thing already

Quick search will point you in the direction of Rudi (I think) in Southampton. He can turn the cluster around in 3 days(ish) or do a while you wait service. His contact details have been posted on the forum. Oh and about £100.

rudi is the man in the south, it costs about £150 with led change or £115 for just a repair, i'll dig the address out in a bit.


Oh and welcome to the site.

Could repair it your self, I did mine the other day not hard really takes around 1.5hr I've done this a few times now and i can turn mine round in about 30mins

How it looked before:



Mid way through the job



all done cost £0.00



Here's the how to I always follow, same way for a few BMW's I've done it before now on E39's and E38's

If you dont trust yourself to DIY (as I didnt), then Rudi is good. Just got mine back along with LED modification.

IanP= any pics?

I like that, how much did that cost?

If your Pixels are OK, then I think it was £50 for the LEDs, or around £150 if the pixels are dead.

It is a DIY and both Raj and I were looking to do it but just need to know what bulbs to replace and with what!

Even have SimonSingh on the case...

Drawback we discussed yesterday was that this could be a solder job.

Then much better to send to Rudi for the sake of £50 and a job guaranteed to be done right.

it looks like a small job to a man of your expertise, then you can do us all a how too thread with step by step instructions and pics

I haven't got a clue! Need some time and then I can tinker - would definitely do a How-To.
