as long as there are working dials within view from drivers seat it's legal.

Borderline unlawful... can't view a video screen whilst driving, not sure if its still illegal to have a screen within the view of the driver, but imagine this has been amended due to advent of sat nav...

Your not allowed the screen to be on whilst driving as it is a "distraction" to the driver.

a lot of cars don't have dials in front of driver seat but in the middle of the dash...(Renault cars for example...Mégane,Espace,etc)

IMO this law is bollox, drivers look away from road and are 'distracted' towards sat nav screens, radios etc, whats the diff

the screen must not have any moving images and display information about the car
i.e sat nav, radio frequency, speed
