I had the same issue eith my 2.6 recently
all the other functions of the binnacle worked ,temp and fuel and all warning lights
I replaced the binnacle and all has been well for a month or so
BEWARE there are various different part numbers for different spec,age,engine ,LHD or RHD etc and you need to match what is fitted

ABS lights on?

Do the fuel gauge and engine temperature gauge work. If not, then check Fuse F15, and if it is blown take a read of this : http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=145833.0

If the fuel gauge still works then almost certainly not F15.

Yup. Been working for over a month now with no more blown fuses. Culprit seems to have been either the drivers or passengers front heated seats. Have unplugged both.

Try giving it a firm push back into the dash before trying anything else. They often unseat them selves and just need helping back where they should be.

Typically i went out this mornig to move the car and they were both working although this has happened before,i thought it might have something to do with the steering lock/ignition switch as when they are not working the radio does not turn off when the key is removed and
the car alarm does not activate.All other systems/warning lights/guages are working. Thanks for replies everyone.

Mine was intermittent for a while ,and got worse and worse
i tried cleaning the contacts and re-seating it ,no joy
a replacement binnacle sorted it

I had this problem intermittently. They would work when I first drove off but then fail again after the ignition had been switched on and off.
I used the Tomtom as a speedometer to make it legal to drive. Then I changed the battery as it was starting to fail and they have worked perfectly since. I wonder if the old battery voltage was a little too low.
