remove it mate http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90675.0 - they been known to turn miggy into inferno :o and you need to make sure you got dash inserted correctly-as contacts behind clocks :y
-
Try removing and reseating dash ;)
-
Done that chap both needles shake and then don't work have removed and put back in but still intermittently stops working
-
Try a known working instrument cluster, I had to change mine at 200k because it started over reading by about 30% before giving up the ghost completely.
Problem not reappeared since :y

Any ideas as im bloody pulling my hair out thanks all

The ABS ECU has failed. Either replace with a working unit from a car of the same year/engine, or send it to BBA Reman or similar for repair :y

True, but all the speed/distance info is driven by a pulse from the ABS ECU. Without the intermittent TC/ABS lights, I would agree about the clocks cluster being kaput, as mine did same thing :y
All the symptoms together add up to the ABS ECU :-\

t/c light is on on the actual button this has only just started happening and the tc now displays on dash anyone know where i can source the cluster unit for reasonable price ???????????

Agree with Henryd & symes - unlikely to be abs ecu as this won't affect rev counter. Gauges or cluster dodgy imo ;)

not very tech whats imo ??

"In my opinion". :y
Should be able to get a cluster from someone who is breaking a car in the parts for sale section.I think they are the same across the range,but might be best to confirm that.Might also be easier to try to get one with similar mileage to your car ? :-\
I may even have one or two sitting around somewhere myself actually.Would need to check.

thanks all
-
No problem Chap ;)

Petrol and diesel ones different, and ideally you want one from a car that had the same size wheels at the factory :y
Which would probably mean one from another mfl elite :y
