Blown bulb?

[Roland]

No, all the bulb in the dash are new :-)

[stevo67]

Check the connectors behind the dash then.

[Roland]

I'll check it tomorrow, I think the right connector because the clip is broken behind the dash to hold the connector

That is probably your problem then :P

Especially since both those light feeds come in on the same connector. I seem to recall anyway :)

Quickly looked big deal.

[MartinObviously]

Quickly looked big deal.

lol :hug:

[Roland]

I have look to the connector behind the dash and there are okay

[MartinObviously]

Have you checked all of your fuses individually? :)

[Roland]

Have you checked all of your fuses individually? :)

Yes, there are also okay :wacko:

[stevo67]

Then the fault must lie with the instrument cluster itself(circuit board)

[Roland]

You mean the dashboard itself

[stevo67]

Yes the unit that has the clocks in it.

[Roland]

Do I need to replace the unit or can I use some parts off a unit that I have as spare?

[stevo67]

Well you could another unit & then swap your speedometer over,so that you then have the correct mileage showing.

[MartinObviously]

Do I need to replace the unit or can I use some parts off a unit that I have as spare?

try your spare unit :y:

Swapping parts can be hard, you need to be careful :)

My temp indicator light has never come on when I put keys in ignition either for some reason

It won't if you have an LED dash?

[OMGASAXO]

It won't if you have an LED dash?

Is that a question? :S

[MartinObviously]

Is that a question? :S

Was your original post a complete sentence? That's a question fyi! :P

If you have an LED lit dash, the temp warning light will not light unless the car is overheating or the sensor is faulty.

[Roland]

I have tested it with my spare unit and with that the temp/oil light will not come on when I have the key in contact position so the problem is not the unit? this morning the indicator light have go on before I start the car and now the will not go on

[Roland]

Someone more idea's?

[stevo67]

I think you may have a wiring problem then(wiring behind the dash)

It was :p umm yeah it's just a standard dash... Not sure if its led or not tbh. But if this is the case it won't even light up with key in ignition before starting car then?
