    Check the connectors behind the dash then.

    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

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

    Have you checked all of your fuses individually?

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

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

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

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

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

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

    It was 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?
