Yes, I had noticed this also, the controller knob on my 2015 Cali feels much sturdier than the one that was in my 2010.

David the LCD has gone on my Central Control Panel.
Do you have a Pre face Lift Classic Cali CCP in stock.

Hi John how are you.What is a "Classic Cali", mine is a T5 pre facelift with a 5 pot engine?
John
Externally it looks the same.And am I right in believing that the central control panel remains identical and not improved in the T6. If this is the case (and I would like someone that has got a T6 maybe to confirm), I find it appalling that a known fault that has cost people a lot of money and grief has remained.
This might be of help.David the LCD has gone on my Central Control Panel.

I understand there are 3 basic faults with the control panel:
1: Display becoming illegible
2. Physical breaking of the button meaning input doesn't register
3. An over-sensitivity when rotating, meaning you whiz past your desired option
Recent discussions pointed to (1) possibly being damp related. I know you can buy new buttons for issue (2), but what is the cause of issue (3)?
Whilst that issue remains unclear, I don't know how to assess the quality of replacement units available to purchase.
Are these still available somewhere ?Central control panels due back in next week + £185
We now also have plenty of replacement knobs in stock for just £19.49

Thanks I will try replacing the knob first. It still works but the knob is temperamental and needs to be handled with care. The display is not good but still legible - perhaps try a hair drier if it's related to the damp weather???@Lavapotman
I have address of a company i used for repair in Nederland if you are interested??
Hi John, Do you have that address. I might give them a try.@Lavapotman
