2003 Corsa C instrument failure.

From left to right.

Temperature gauge, rev counter, speedo, fuel gauge. All of which are not working.

Any ideas chaps?

This is the 13 year old rotbox that poor Mrs O is expected to drive? Put your hands in your pocket and treat the lady, tight arse.

It is indeed a 13 year old rot box but one that will outlast your Captur, Megane, and Daewoo put together.

.....along with an Astra finished in a troubled shade of green. :)

It will outlast if you keep throwing money at it, not very nice to look at though. Does Mrs O put a bag over her head when driving it? ;D

Although not quite the looker her younger sister is, Mrs Opti is well above average.

Some women require the use of the paper bag on a regular basis. I should know. :)

Thanks, Frostbite.

It was working as usual this morning. However it has thrown it's toys out of the pram several times before, only to start working again. Weird.

Have you done the tried and tested method of smacking the dashboard in several places until it works again? This type of diagnostics rules out the more serious faults and confirms that "Something is loose".

Back in the day this sophisticated method of fault finding worked well when my old black and white television had a valve that required attention. :)
