    Speedo and rev counter not working

    Recently bought a run down legnum and in the process of restoring her to her former glory. The car had a starting issue when i first bought it but that was down to a aftermarket clifford alarm system being fitted, after ripping all that out we got her fired up and shes running sweet as a nut. Only issue being that there is nothing shown on the dash??? Indicators, lights, gear indicator light etc. all working but no speedo or rev counter?
    Can anyone help me out?

    the speedo may or may not work again with a replacement ifs,

    that could be a speedo sensor or kph/mph converter issue??

    One of the fuses behind the coin holder. 10 amp ftom memory? About in the middle of the row, but I can't remember if it is the top row or the bottom.

    Check that the dash connections at the rear of the cluster are in correctly. Maybe just give it a wiggle and make sure it's seated.

    I think it's the mini 10 amp fuse in the engine bay fusebox you'll need to look into.

    Yes, there is a fuse in there too. Marked side lights I think.
