I’ve just joined the forum and keen to learn from the communal knowledge and experience. 
 

I have a Mk 2 Octavia 2012. Unfortunately my mechanic knocked my instrument panel and cracked the plastic and I’m keen to replace it.

Could you tell me if I can get a cheap spare panel with uncracked plastic and just unclip the plastic cover and swap it over to mine, or do I have to replace the whole cluster? I am hoping the former. 
 

Apart from that, no issues at all. No gremlins, warning lights or misted-up windows. A happy owner. 
 

Cheers!

Thats what I did an flebay one and just changed the clear plastic.

Thanks a lot for confirming. This will save ££s.
