Check the bulbs.
Failing that the unit can be swapped.

Mine's started flashing 50 degrees again, can't be bothered messing with it, it seems to fix itself over time anyway! lol

Mine has a mind of it's own. It wasn't telling the correct temp for months, -28c in the middle of summer, etc, then it suddenly started working... that's french cars for ya, lol.

The fuse is 11th along - on second row. (1st row has only 4)

Its the same fuse for rear windscreen wiper for some reason :roll:

Mine is pretty acurate. But it never worked for about 6 months when i got the car. Then one day i hit a pothole and its been on bright ever since. happy days.

Yeah, dash top off - 5 screws.
Steering cowl - 3 screws.
Then the 4 screws holding the dials in, 2 top 2 bottom.
