Really is was thinking maybe a break in the brown and white wire to the earth at the side of the head well that was what I was going to look at tomorrow after some of the things I have been reading today

That's what I thought it was at first and spent ages tracing earths checking connections everything but no luck. Changed the cluster and all worked. It's not down to a bad earth.

Yep exactly that. Ah was gonna pull the old clocks apart to see if there was a broken connection but if you have tried i will leave it. Looks like we have saved each other wasted time.

You could try it on the clocks you have swapping it from your working clocks to your non working ebay item number 141826664178 just so you can see the part I'm on about

A faulty voltage reg usually gives erratic fuel and temp gauge readings
