Who imported the car for you????  Who shipped it for you.  We had the same happen to us on an MR2.... i rang the police and all sorts and the shipping company knew there was a problem at the docks and gave us compensation.....worth a go especially if you have photos of it with the stuff on.

Cheers and good luck

Cant see the missing gauges doing damage to your engine,
all they do is receive data from the engine/ecu.   So your engine should run the same,

The timer just cuts the ign out after a period of time,
