The date display is dependant on the radio connsrction I believe as when I replaced my radio for an mp3 player, the date turns off when the radio is on and vice versa. Don't what the trouble could be if your radio is copmpletely dead apart from the obvious like a fuse.

My 97 omega has the same problem although its intermittent ,jigling the radio normally sorts it so its probably a bad connection on the multi plug the radio slots into.

Have you had the stereo out lately?

I would remove the stereo and make sure it is located firmly back into place.

Failing that I imagine you have a loom fault or even a faulty display.

I would have thought that a Vauxhall dealer with Tech2 could assist so I would talk to your nearest dealer.

It isn't just that the display bulbs have gone is it?

That is a good point about the bulbs. Can you see anything if you look very carefully at it? Does it at least light up?

Hi thanks all for the help no it does not light up at all and I cant see anything at all on screen I dont want to take the CD player out as I wont be able to input the code with a blank screen J.Parry

Worth seeing if your display is unplugged or if the bulbs have gone before you start looking for anything else.
