Heater display panel unreadable in daylight

[ian4002000]

My P38 heater display panel is unreadable in daylight and night time without using a torch. Is this a common problem ?
What is the best/ cheapest solution ?
Where do I get a replacement screen/unit ?


All help appreciated.

Before you replace the screen, you might want to check the globes behind the Climate control. There are 5 of them.

Had a similar issue recently, replaced the globes but found irregularity in the input voltage that was causing the the screen to dim to the point where you couldn't read it, then later come good.
