Hi guys, sorry if this isn't the correct place!
My civic's (Petrol Type S 06 plate) engine management light came on a few days ago, along with the screen telling me to 'check system' with the warning lights; power steering, abs, airbag, vsa, airbag' all lighting up (although these features still work as they light up) along with losing the rev counter, speedometer and temp gauge; but only intermittently and would work, then stop, work then stop etc with no pattern just sometimes works for a couple of minutes then doesn't, only works at random points (almost like something is loose?) .
Took it to my local dealer today and 2 and a half hours later (and £80) they have told me I need a new Gauge Control Module as it's faulty. And quoted me a wopping £473 (without tax) for it!? The labor is only £43.
Can I buy one myself cheaper? Are they trying to just get money from me?
Any suggestions would be great!?
