hi all !

i was out driving on sunday when i started the car for the return home , i noticed the rev counter was pulsing badly , i stopped the car switched off the engine , blipped the alarm restarted the car and all was fine , however when i reached the motorway and went to engage the cruise control , it didnt work ?!?  all the home even with fuel stops i had no cruise control , yet yesterday the car had no faults and everything was working including cruise control  .

today after finishing work i started the car as usual however today there was no rev counter , no speedo and no fuel gauge working , i drove a couple of miles , the rev counter was small pulsing  , pulled over still no speedo or fuel gauage , stop the car switched off engine set the alarm , unset the alarm and restarted the car , fule gauge is working but no rev counter this is still pulsing  i drove home with no speedo and no rev counter , got home put the code reader on and all i got was rpm signnal (31) , my question to you good guys and gals , is the crank sensor fubar  , and is the car going to be ok to use for work ( i commute 52 miles every day) as i dont want the sensor failing during my drive as im shifts .

many thanks

sounds like possible alternator dying,i know its well documented on here non working speedo is abs control module with tc light allso on,but this fault doesnt sound the same?

Check the dash display  is fully home.

dash display has never been out , or the dashboard to that matter ?

just spoken to my omega breaker friend and he reckons the abs pumps on its way out ,
