Need Help/ Advice On What This Problem Is With My R32

[R32 White]

I bought new tacho dials and installed them into my r32 yesterday and everything worked well this morning on the way to work. Then this arvo when i got in the car the speedo and the odometer don't work and the rpm gauge just jumps and is really stiff when you take off. I pulled it apart again and had a look but everything still seems to be plugged in. Is it that i just need a complete new Instrument cluster or could it be something else?

I pulled the dash out again today to have a look and all the plugs seem to be clicked in properly so the only thing that i think could be wrong is the part the turns the needle on the speedo musn't work or might be unplugged somewhere. Does anyone know if it could be unplugged or where i could get it repaired? Its the gold coloured bit in the pics

Without the specifics, it's hard to tell you what exactly needs to be done the right way... however, some times the wires for thos tacho dials might be broken and hence sparking some time for shortcircuit... I would take everything out again and see if the car runs better... if so, then get a replacement for those Tachos...

The car runs fine now it's just the speedo and odometer. I'm going to try get another speedo cable if i can find one. Anyone know where i could get one from and how much?

That's good news... at least you main concerns have been fixed.

Go to Autobarn, I got one of them - if not, try a wrecker. Good luck.
