Hello, wondering if someone could help me.

The car is a Sapphire 2WD Cosworth. The problem is that on first start up, the rev counter and temperature gauge do not work. Once the car has been running for a while they both bounce to life. This has been going on for some time,and now the indicators have also decided to stop working with them!!!.

The battery light also comes on when car is hot.

Any ideas/suggestions apprecated. Thanks!

If i was you i would first check all earth connections around the clock area, i know there is one on the top screw that holds the indicator stalk on and i'm sure there's another underneath the clock area.

Will take some stripping of the dash to get at these but to me it does sound like you've got an earthing issue, my hazard's didn't work on the left side only on my 3 door cossy and that was just poor connection at the switch.
