Hi again, few problems with my dashboard clocks ect. Indicator light on the left hand side doesn't work I've looked at the bulb and tested for resistance and no resistance showed so it was fine even though it isn't that much of a problem it nice to know whether you've been indicating left for the past half an hour or not

Another problem is the back lights only one turns on (rev counter) when the lights are on so the dark is an issue as I can't see how fast I am going 😑. I did have a problem with the alternator light until one day it decided to turn itself on so touch wood it stays on 😬. And last but not least the speedo is 5 mph out at true 30mph so to do 30 it has to show 35mph and then from there the numbers are anyone's guess as once I hit 40 the true speed is 32mph?

Could anyone please help been struggling for a while now I have tried cleaning all the connections, checked a fuse box as I can't find the rest even going off the Haynes manual and I've checked all the wires and bulbs for breaks. Nothing has worked help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Lewis

Does anyone know whether or not the circuit board at the back of the dials is connected in series or parallel as that may be my problem :/

The printed circuit is a possibility, especially if it's got wet. All the illumination bulbs are in parallel. The earth is a common factor  for the indicator and illum.

Inspect the circuit too, ive seen them break. Quite easily restored with conducrive glue.
