I have an OBC fitted to my Zed, but it doesn't work. I wondered if anybody has had experience of how to remove and repair them. Checked the fuses and they're OK, but other than that, I haven't got a clue!

Suppose to be a clock too I think.
Have you checked the fuses?

Hi could it just be the bulb that lights the display ?.
The whole unit comes out forward had to replace mine when i brought the Zed as it only showed a ppp error that would not clear. I think there is 1 maybe two fuses that feed it.

Not the reply you want but their not very good computers anyway. The two I've owned are way out. Only the clock seemed accurate.....

Yep, I have seen this reported before.
Yep, The enitre console needs to be removed unless you have double jointed, double jointed wrists, the OBC is fixed to the back of the facia plate with two screws, a bit of a pig of a job if I'm being honest. The OBC can be replaced with a second hand unit without any hassle once removed, as you have the wooden facia kit installed the faceplate of the original OBC can be retained if you do have to replace the unit.
Mine was just a push fit with two plastic lugs that you squeeze as said its a pain to remove ! i managed to get my hand up the side of the console between it and the carpet and it pushed out heres my old one.....
As said by brian the face of the obc will unclip so you can retain you fascia

Thanks for all your replies and advice. The fuses are OK so will try changing the bulb first. Looks like I will have to loosen off the centre console to gain some room behind and see if I can push it out. Failing that I may just change it for a clock rather than an inaccurate computer!

Speaking as someone that has removed the entire console on my Z3, it's a ballache.
Parts of 2 different ones... I was starting to sweat a bit at that stage, soo many screws and clips.
You end up with sooo many bits
I think I may just stick a piece of paper on the front with some numbers on. Probably be more accurate!
That's why mechanic's always have boxes of " Get you out the crap" bits and bobs. Bet @Lee has some?

Yeah I actually have a little pot full of random fixings from all the zeds. 
How's that done? Not sure mines massively out but interested in the know how ?
