I (ab)use my 320 for navigational rallying and it gets alot of off road use. The vibration seems to be causing a number of dash instruments and lights to behave eratically.

The speedo reads as and when it feels like it which is annoying as I use the odometer to measure distance. The temp dial dances about off road but mostly works ok on tarmac. The oil service light comes on intermittently and stays on, generally after big impacts :twisted: . It lies, there's loads of oil.

From the widespread mis-behaviour I assume there is a loose wire or multiplug somewhere that needs better support. Any ideas where to look? It could of course be faulty sensors/connectors.

Cheers.
