   Check the plug/s behind the dashboard might be loose.

   I take it i can check this without the need to take the entire dashboard off or dials out?

   If you do a search mate theres a guide for taking the instrument cluster out.

   It could be that the plug is still in situe, but the solders on the plugs pins have cracked on the dial circuitboard, Ive seen it on a few sets. If you have a soldering iron and a steady hand its an easy fix.
