   Hi guys I am a newbie and i have a 2000 Saxo vts but last nite I parked it up and all the dials have stayed as they were I.e the fuel gauge hasn't moved rev counter always reads 900 rpm speedo stays at zero temp gauge always warm and oil temp always warm I put some fuel in and the light went out but no movement on gauge all other lights illuminations and mileage trip work fine what would cause this? Earth? Are all needles on one live? I have tried disconnecting the battery that also didn't work anyone else had this problem before I start pulling the clocks out? Lol
