time and date is cos u are not using a standard vauxhall head unit
only sonys u can use the top display
the best u can do it fuse it off and have the date there


if its not working all together then u have prob hit somthing and knocked the plug off or one of the backing lights may have gone.

mate i had the same problem. what it is that one of the pins behind the mfd is loose. So what you have to do is take it out and then solder the pins that are loose. Im sure this is the problem as i had the problem last week. Takes 40 secs to fix. Ask if u need help as i know how annoying it can be

If you have leds fitted, the dimmer unit will still work just the same as with regular bulbs.
