Rover 75 Instrument Failure
Discussion
One of the lads took our old 75 pool car today - and as usual whenever he has it something fails.
The mileometer / trip seems OK in the centre of the panel - but the main dials on the instrument panel have all stopped. So that's speedo - rev counter - temperature and fuel gauges.
Nothing about it in the handbook. Anyone had experience of this, or any clues please ?

Actually tried that earlier thanks - and bingo.
All fuses looked in place - all were taken out and looked fine. But re-seating did the business.
Typical manufacturers - the handbook listed the fuses in a certain layout. The panel was totally different. Google came up trumps with the correct layout.
Even the rear window wiper worked afterwards (for half a sweep). Luckily not on the MOT, but useful if working (says the man who recently reversed into a steel fence, due to poor wet weather view). I wonder if we can get the car to 200k ? 150k in our abused ownership and 22k needed still. The final straw might be when the original exhaust gives in.
