Hello, yes I have had a read, my view for this post was more on the side of what's the best value ones to do first, About £1000 to spend maybe more if its a large improvement.

I have had the little light bulb come out of its socket in the cluster itself.  You can see if you have voltage on that contact but honestly pulling the whole gauge cluster out is the best way to prove it is working right. 

Not so hard to do but you need to be able to curl up on the floorboard to get at the speedometer cable and big plug that goes into the back of the cluster.
