Good morning all!
Not only am I completely new here, this is also my first Peugeot.
Its a 1998 1.6 Petrol estate - It was very kindly given to me after my father-in-law passed away. Although an older car, its got low mileage and generally runs great...
However.... Its suffering from a seemingly common problem - instrument cluster failure. More specifically rev counter, speedometer and fuel gauge. As with other similar cases the temp gauge still works. All other dash lights work fine too.
I've extensively searched the net, and have learned that many people have enjoyed success with removing/re-fitting the shunt fuse etc etc - No such luck here. Ive also tested all other fuses (internal and engine) without success. I can confirm that the two earthing straps from the battery to the engine are corrosion free and in good shape.
Ive been unsuccessful in finding a common cause for this - although one forum post I read someone had said that this was an issue with the microprocessor and that Peugeot, back in the day, knew about it.
I'm more than happy to source a second hand instrument cluster and try it, but before I do I was wondering if anyone had any useful tips to try otherwise?
Thanks to all who can offer any advice :-)
Stay safe folks...
Ashley
