All after days of testing I finally found the issues with my mums car, the cluster unit needs to be repaired, and the clock spring needs replacing,  my question is does anyone know best place to get cluster repairs done. And how hard is replacing clock spring

 

Thanks all

Do you know what damage the cluster has?

It has no audible sou ds, like indicator or lights on audible warning, dash lights flickering, dash lights staying on very very dim, mileage displays flickers or turns of and on along with the clock

Are you sure its the cluster and not the connector to the cluster or wiring. If I remember you said the car was damp inside. Sounds like either a bad supply or earth somewhere unless its a dry joint etc. There a few companies that will check and repair cluster for you.

https://www.autotronics.co.uk/ (have never used them but they are £125 at the moment. They should also be able to check the cluster for you and tell you if it needs repairing

The spiral cable I think you can get a replacement flat cable for instead of replacing entire unit. Not sure how tricky it is to replace.

Before sending cluster have you checked the condition of the fuses that supply the cluster. On my sons mk1 its fuse no1 I think. If theres corosion/loose it can cause the same fault.
