All this stuff may sound like doom and gloom but it's not that bad and cars that are in good nick generally don't have a lot of problems.

Also remember that I tend to see all the worst cases.

Hey Mark, I'm getting the odometer/ warning message row disappearing occasionally, is this the "blinky dash syndrome"?

Will wait to hear what Mark has to say on this. But my expierence has been different. I got the Blinky Dash bug about 2 yrs ago. I fixed it, have had no problems since...........however now the bottom row (warning odo etc) is occasionlly slow to light up on cold mornings. Seems to me that they are a similar fault ie capacitors need replacing but not the same ones as for Blinky Dash

All part of the same syndrome. It could also be a fault in the tube heater and/or circuit if the tube hasn't been replaced with a cold-cathode type (Jaycar).

Blue light conversion to speedo,fuel,temp two years ago no problems. Started car yesterday, no speedo,fuel,temp. Indicators working normally. Lower part of dash good. Drove car 100mtrs everything back to normal. Today same problem but still no upper dash apart from indicators.
Has anybody had this problem. No cold weather here in Western Australia.

I had the blinky dash fixed about a year ago and now the bottom part will go blank, the time and the odometer bit.

Also the system check keep coming up when the bottom part went out.

Those symptoms were all a part of my blinky dash experience, looks like maybe the transistor has gone bad.
I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I will be along shortly

Good luck
