Hi All,
Just joined the community and must firstly that Matt for the excellent Buyers Guide for the L322.
One question i have regarding the drivers Dash.
I looked at an L322 today and the temperature display was stuck at -40. It also had some missing pixels.
Is this a problem or a sign of something major?
The car drove great and everything else works great and all checks out.

:welcome2:Buying from a dealer or private? If from a dealer, get them to fix it before you buy. Missing pixels is a common problem, lots of posts on the subject, could be expensive. Temperature stuck at -40C may just be a sensor or it could be the sign of something more serious. The L322 electronics are horrendously complex using data bus concepts. they suffer from water ingress in various places especially the rear quarter which affects the electronics.

Thanks for the warm welcome all.
I will take a closer look in the rear quarter to ensure all is dry. I have read about water ingress issue and had checked the are already. A second look can't harm.
