I was taking it apart to change the colour of the bulbs and also to spray paint when I saw that in trying to get it apart I had scratched the data cable that connects to the LCD
Anyone have any ideas of where I can get another one other than vauxhall cos I bet there gonna charge me about £100 for a replacement
Cheers

Are you sure the cable isnt just loose going into the back? If not, i could send you my old one if you want for £10 posted if you are interested. I bought a new one from the scrappy cos i thought my old one had broken, but it was just a dodgy connection on the back. If you cable tie the lead back in like it was when you took it out, it should be ok.

Its definatley not the cable at the back like!!! My scredriver has gone through the data cable that has all the tiny little strands inside it, I think Ive only damaged a coupple cos 95% of the display works fine.
Thanks drunkenfool but Ive been on to a couple of scrappys and Im going down shortly to get one out of the same year corsa c as mine, so it will look good as new again lol
Thanks for the help guys
