Hi everyone.
I have owned my 1987 320i for 14 years.
I restored it around 9 years ago - full respray, BBS wheels, fuel lines, lots of other bits for MOT and black Recaro leather.
I’ve decided this year to get it back up and running with a full service and new radiator.
I’ve noticed that since starting it up that the speedo and instruments are not working, any ideas on what this could be or how to fix?
Thanks
Andrew

Best to ask in the Technical section.

I take it this car's been sat around for a while? With the battery disconnected (or flat)?
If so, I strongly recommend that you remove the instrument cluster from the car ASAP, open it up, and check the condition of the batteries on the SI board mounted in the front half. This is all easy to do, and I expect full instructions are in the wiki.
As Ben says above, please start a new thread in the E30 tech help section with what you find, or for help in removing the cluster.
