The sun has damanged and cracked my dashboard I need to get it repaired it this common?

 

Yes. Here in Texas where we're much closer to the sun than most everybody else, its common on every car made after about the 1950s whenever the padded dash became a standard safety feature. There's numerous threads already on the X250 subforum about the XF leather dashpads, the various solutions from expensive factory replacements to DIY repairs as well as care and preventative steps.
