[doc] Re: Dashboard crack repair. Any joy Phill !!!

["Phill Wright" <psw@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

well, yes and no - you could faintly see where the crack had been but
the dash re-spray covered most of that and it was nice for a while.
After a few weeks I got some hairline cracks re-appear, its nothing
like as bad as it was, but not good enough - Rich H had his done as
well and that went exactly the same. 
I hear that Grady's (I think) are having the dash's re-manufactured so
hopefully they won't be too expensive, I'm waiting to see what the
price will be for a 'new' one before looking into any other alternatives. 
I can supply pics of what it was like before and now if you want.

Cheers

PhillW
