I have changed regulator on inside of wing, I have had dashboard out and had printed circuit checked and its components all are a ok.This just happend one day with no other unusaul goings on. Please somebody shed some light on this problem thanks Nobby.
Yeh had this problem myself..
Yeh had this problem myself...my track is same age as yours...the rear wiring loom which runs under vehicle from just under passenger seat to rear of car had come adrift and was sagging..dunno for how long..but where it crosses the rear chassis cross member it had chaffed causing a major short when 2 wires had obviously touched as a result of the plastic wearing away....alltogether 11 0f 25 wires in the loom melted together...what a nightmare...mega hassle to repair.....carefully check the loom for damage...its definately a short somewhere thats causing the gauges to malfunction.
