Is the temp gauge not working either??

SI Board Battery will probably be dead / leaking / corroding the circuit board.

I do have a pic of how I bypasses the SI Board, but I think mine was a motometer cluster, so not sure if it will work on a VDO one.....

Every thing bar the speedo is not working... even the lights to tell you how many kms before next service.

Dose it do anything like what mine done? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcn-I9-I1AE

If so i had a short between two wires running down past the shifter boot

These two

Those two wires were blowing fuses as well, 2 30A fusses, cant remember what ones they were.

I insulated the wires, replaced the fuses and all was good again.

Not to sure if youre problem is the same thing but its worth a shot i guess

The Service Indicator Board - pretty Xmas tree lights in the dash that tell you the oil needs to be changed.

It has rechargable batteries, these die / leak / make a big mess often and the board/batteries need to be replaced (or bypassed) for the dash to start working again.

Pelican have a write up here

Search the net a bit more and there will be heaps of pics also.
