I sent the dash away for repair - first to one company who said they couldn't fix it, then to another who are the no1 cluster repair company (apparently). They sent it back and it didn't work, so I just sent it to them again but again it doesn't work. It does have a 2yr warranty now though.

How can I check if it is in fact the dash that is the problem, or something else? What else might it be?

My mechanic friend is working on this - he has a lot of knowledge of Toyota Surf's but unfortunately not of these, hence all the questions. If anyone has a wiring diagram they could send that would really help - am going to get a workshop manual off ebay asap.
Hi. If its the Magneti Marelli digital dash.They suffer from dry joints on the printed circuit board which affects the lcd display etc.I removed mine and with the help of a mate,a magnify glass,soldering iron(fine tip) and some ready fluxed thin wire checked cleaned and soldered all dodgy looking joints.Be careful not to get the board to hot.Check all dash bulbs whilst the speedo is out.The speedo suffers from corrosion and bad connections where the speedo sensor and multiplug go into the gearbox.A good clean up and spray with good quality electrical contact spray cleaner might cure your problem.Regards John
