My dash is full of cracks, from the sun. Is there any way that I could fill them/sort them out?

Thanks.

most people just replace the whole dash with a good second hand one

Jog I asked the same question recently! The advice i got was the same as above - they just keep getting worse, there's nothing you can do about them that works - better off buying a mint 1 and swopping them out!!

So long as you label the wiring i hear it not to bad to do!!

No.

If it's as bad as you say, you should be thinking of replaceing the whole dashboard.

there's a step by step guide here. not as dificult as it apears to be.
