What are the options for fixing or replacing the display , Is it the same as a td 5 item or a unique 50th item .

Try a company called Cluster Repairs.

They sorted mine out for me.

Totaltronics.com did a great repair for myself a couple of years ago saving my mileage to the new LCD & improved the connection. Recommended

Mine's numbers disappear when I don't drive her for a few days in the damp winter months. the numbers always start working again when the weather warms up. I assume its a little bit of damp in the connections somewhere.

The display issue is the ribbon cable inside the speedo that fails with time, that fault is an easy enough fix for instrument repair companies; Cluster Repairs did mine years ago and it lasted a few years.

Once it went again I bought a used TD5 speedo and had it set to the correct mileage then had JSF fit it for me (needs the connector plug on the loom changed in order to fit). The TD5 is a similar, but not identical, looking speedo and whilst it means it's not original, it is a permanent fix rather than repairing/ replacing 50th speedo every few years.
