Today after 3 months of faultless use the screen went completely off whilst driving down the motorway the digital display in the binnacle was unaffected the indicators appeared to work but there was no ticking noise from the dashboard after about 15 minutes it burst back into life and appears to be working again has anyone else had this fault and is it worth a visit to the dealership

Not had the problem myself but it's a great excuse to get the latest update from your dealer, as it includes stability improvements:

Only experienced the 'black screen of death' once ( on the first day of ownership). I suspect a software bug causing the Sensus system to reboot. The indicator clicks will go silent as they are computer generated played through the audio system. As Moose says, there's no harm in taking to the dealer as you will get the latest software update.

I've had the screen of death a few times in the year of owning. Restarted on it's own then seemed fine. Haven't been able to work out what makes it happen.

Happened to me for the first time today. Went blank for approx 2mins then rebooted itself.
