hello newbie here

About a week ago i woke up and went out to go to my car. The rear right tyre had lost a lot of air. I thought this would be enough to go to the local fuel station to pump it back up. On the way there i heard a strange noise coming from that tyre so i stopped the car and took a look. The alloy had completely come off the tyre. I drove the car back home but all instruments had stopped working. the needles, the LCDs and the hazard lights had all stopped working. i dont know if this is all just a big coincidence or not. I got home and disconnected the battery to see if that was the problem but the problem persisted.

 

By the way the car is a 1991 2.5 litre diesel limited edition

 

Something comes up that you need a new instrument panel. Whether its the soldiered joins or the power relay in it.
Like Audi TT's and Renault Mk3 Espaces of the past.

 

Check for fuse to cluster first.

 

Try hitting top of dash with the palm of your hand. If it comes back on its a solder issue.

 

thanks i will try all suggestions

 

Try if its wiring

 

Any results Magadu....

 

thanks guys the cluster is now working very grateful

how likely is the rim/alloy likely to be damaged given i drove on it with no air in the tyre

 

Yes but what was the repair..helps others you see.....
