This is an easy one mate!

Remove your instrument panel.

Look @ the rear of it and there are some earthing nuts for the gauges.

Tighten them all up and all should be well. :wink:

The E30 I'm just about to set off with on a 2500 mile round trip towing a caravan around France has just started doing this this morning! Just to annoy.
Rowemeister's diagnosis is correct for most cases.
