Good evening chaps, hope you’re all well.

As above, speedo and rev counter not working and both needles “quivering” 😱
Temp gauge and fuel level work fine.
No ABS or TC light on.

I’m guessing this is an issue with the instrument cluster. I used to send any cluster away to Ecu testing or BBA but I’m informed they apparently can’t do anything with it.

Apologies if I’ve raised this issue before but it started working again but now it’s permanently inoperative. Is the general consensus to replace the cluster or is there any obvious repair that I can do?

TIA boys 🥰

Every time I've seen it with the little needle shimmer, its needed a replacement cluster.

it depends on how you are with a soldering iron .and wether you are able /confident in removing the internal circuit board from it .on the last 3 ive seen its always been an issue with the actual board rather than any components on it .the board is double sided and the interconnections can swell and go bad due to age and the heat that the cluster gets subject to.
a replacement cluster assembly (if in good order )will sort it but you are limited to finding one with the correct mileage on it (if it bothers you )or swapping the pcb from it to yours .
