Hi johnston_evo3,

I will be glad to help out if you find you need rev counter fuel and temp gauges as I have all these sitting in my shed they were removed from a 1999 2.7 Tdi Terrano 11 and I know they are in working order. e-mail me your e-mail address and I could send you some photo's if you want them.

Try checking the fuses and earth on the gauges to see if they are not playing up.

Are the connectors at the rear of the dash all plugged in firmly?

havent got that far yet was just wonderin if anythin common before i start strippin dashs out ..

its 1 job i hate, its to awkward to use the 4 lb block hammer for the job

have you put the earth wire back on the gearbox from the chassis it would be worth connecting up a jump lead from the negative battery terminal to the gearbox
