Everything went well thanks to the guides on here.
I ran new wires for the dash lights as the circuit was broken, success!
Tightened up the connector with tape and ran a new ground and voila!, Fuel gauge and temp gauge burst into life.
Everything is now working, the digital display, the "mpg" thing etc.
Brilliant, except now the rev counter has stopped working… boo!
I gave the connector a good wiggle with no joy.
Any thoughts?

Did you bulk out the connector with electrical tape when the instrument where out?

I spliced an extra earth to the car behind the dash.
I also "plumped" under the connection.

if the mpg setting works ok though this suggests an issue with the circuit board inside or a loose connection as tacho is fed from same feed as the mfa computer…

Nothing initially but a little down the road it came back to life.
Well happy!

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
