    Default Knackered dash

    OK, good start, 4 days in with my new Vectra and the dash has decided to throw a wobbler, it doesn't work, at all.

    No rev counter, no mileage, no speedo, no lights you get the idea.

    The weird thing is the two lights that do work are the door open light (on permanently, even when car off and locked) and the orange alternator(?) one that comes on when you start it up.

    Looks like a trip to the dealers tomorrow morning, its kinda disconcerting not knowing what speed you are doing.

    Could be a loose plug and when you pushed the trip reset you pushed the cluster enough to make a good connection.
