Hi,

Has anyone experience this problem:

Turned the car on one day and
speedo not working
rev counter not working
petrol gauge not working
oil gauge not working
BUT
trip and mileage working
temp gauge working

Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks

voltage spike
disconnect batt for afew seconds
make sure you know your radio code first

Sounds to me like you've either had a voltage spike (as suggested earlier), or if this happens on a regular basis, then your alternator is on the way out, or the connections to it are knackered.

Try removing the shunt fuse for a few seconds.

Had this problem on my mum's 1998 1.6 Meridian,
Dealer had to replace the dashboard binacle
Luckily ours packed up while the car was still under warranty.
Good Luck!!
