Yep, meter cell is going out; both of my R8s have had to have their cells replaced this year :( Kindermann Canada repaired both of'em [they do good work], and Slobodan is correct, 300+ bucks. The meter cell is part of the mirror box assembly and the whole shebang has to be replaced. You might check Kindermann, I don't personally know what their rush service is like.
