Certainly not,there are loads of used ones in the breakers.He says it's for the Cosworth,but there is no heated screen switch which I thought all Cossies had!!

I bought a brand new one like that on ebay without the hole for the heated windscreen button, I just swapped the fascia over - but it only cost £24.50 inc.

can you change the fascia tompion?mine is playing up a bit,i think its knocking on the a/c intermittingly when at tickover.ive pulled one out of a scrap one but have slightly damaged the edge of it with my screwdriver(those spring clips take a real bite)also its discoloured a bit probably through the weather.whereas my fascia is perfect.if you can im gonna give it a go

Last retailed at over £236 :o......so at £149.95 + £6.95 p&p....It's gotta be a bargain for any real scorpio enthusiast......NOT!!!

It's for a Scorpio, not a Bentley !!! ???.......You'd surely have to be out of your mind to pay that.... http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i101/jonnycab/smileyphp2.gif http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i101/jonnycab/smileyphp.gif

I'll give details later if you need them, but DON'T try pulling the controls off they stay on the fascia. Prise the circuit board out the back, just be careful not to break the plastic clips. Turn the controls to zero first and don’t turn the spindles when you get it out, that way they’ll line up – not that it’s difficult to work out how to align them.

The circuit board is also nearly identical for the LHD and RHD vehicles despite the fascia is shaped completely opposite. The only difference on the boards is that on RHD the RHS temperature buttons decide the range for the left side. But that is really no big deal for me. Saved me quite a lot, the german breakers wanted a bit too much for the part.

I priced this part and the control box behind from Ford. The panel was over £300, and the part behind just a touch more! I got a good one from Spikies, £17.50.
