Hi guys,
Couple of months ago I noticed on 3-4 occassions when I was getting in the car the speedo wouldn't work. After turning the ignition on and/ or starting the engine the would be nothing on the speedo. Only mileage would + ENGINE MANAGEMENT LIGHT be displayed. Indicators and lights wouldn't work either although the engine, radio, fan etc would still be fine. I would then disconnect and connect the battery again and it would solve the problem.
It only happened couple of times and didn't come back for about 2 months.

I came off the motorway today and got to a roundabout. Rev counter was stuck on 2000 and the speed on 20mph(even though I was stationary at the time). Indicators didn't work either. I managed to get the car off road and disconnected the battery for about 1 minute. When connected back again this it what happened...

I tried disconnecting and connecting it back several times. I got into the car and decided to wait. After about 15 mins I started the engine and it works fine again. Any ideas as to what may be causing this? Last time it happened I had it connected to a diagnostic device- no error codes.

Any advice would be appreciated
