    Hey mate did you get it working again? Was it a capacitor problem?

    If it's a 1990 the cluster could be mechanically driven (cable). Take the cluster gauge out and see if the cable is connected to it. It should connect roughly in the centre. Be careful though as the cable is not very long and will not pull all the way out with the cluster.

    The tacho should be electrically driven though, so its weird they both wouldn't work. Pull out the cluster and hopefully you can see something obvious.

    Thanks for the tips fellas, I'm gonna see my auto elec tomorrow morning. He's got some device that could tell whether it's a problem at the front (cluster) or back (wiring). I hate pulling out the cluster lol but whatever will and must be done :/

    And it's also exact same model as OP. Just realised "SDUD" was a jest? haha
