IIRC the main culprit was a fuse on the back of the clocks(speedo, rev counter etc) You have to take the clocks out and look for a red fuse on the back of the clocks. The fuse holder looks like the small black twist in bulbs, but is red.

It's the trip re set button you need to turn. I do hope it's just that because taking the clocks out can be a right pain in the arse.
