Hi guys got a problem with my mates mk2 Octavia basically when he puts the ignition on everything lights up then when he starts it het gets no speedo or anything at all could someone out there help me out at all.

Thats an odd one. Check the battery and once started check the voltage coming from alternator. It may be theres enough to start car but alternator is weak/not charging.

checked all that all the voltages are fine

Check that any related fuses are secure and not loose/coroded. Might be worth removing cluster and checking over for dry solder joints and if its seated properly. Remember to disconnect battery before removing cluster. Had problems with mine and it had come loose/bad connection at rear. It might also be worth getting it scanned with vcds to see if anything pings up. Sounds like a poor connection somewhere.
