REV COUNTER AND TEMP GAUGE WONT WORK

[dnos]

HI HAS ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS WHY MY REV COUNTER AND TEMP GAUGE WONT WORK? ALSO MY BOOT KEEPS GETTING DAMP BUT DONT THINK IT S THE BOOT SEAL. DRAINS FOR SUNROOF MAYBE? THANKS

Insytruments - your service indicator (SI) board in the cluster is ruined. A good secondhand cluster is the answer.
Boot leak - if the seal is good, adjust the boot catch so it's harder to slam. Also remove, clean up and grease the rear light seals.

You may get away with just replacing the batteries on the SI board, if they haven't started to leak corrosive fluids.
There are loads of reasons why your boot may be damp, and unfortunately, a good deal of them involve a certain orange form of iron oxide.
Pull out the boot side liners (they won't break), and the boot mat, and sprinkle talcum powder everywhere. Water will leave streaks in the powder when and where it comes in.
