There is a common issue with FD displays, they can fail unfortunatly.

Try disconnecting the battery for a short time then reconnecting, that sometimes does the trick :Santa

thanks will try that to day if the unit is gone whats best to do,? replace with standard or are there different types i can use ,also on standard clocks can you set them to my original miles or start from 0 ?? thanks again.

Just replace the speedo or the cluster would be your easiest option, you can\'t just reprogram the miles so try to find a set with similar miles.

This has happened to me. Has happened before  and usually just comes back on after time. Does anyone suppose it could be connected with the speedo km to mph conversion calculator? Loose wire perhaps? From conversations with one of these \'mileage fidler\' blokes, it\'s a sealed unit and can\'t be messed with.
