I have recently picked up a J reg 518i (E34! I think, but if I'm way off the mark I apologise as I'm new to all this), however everything has been going fine with car until today when all the instrument gauges (fuel, speedo, rev counter, temperature, mileometer and trip) just died on me. I've changed the battery as suggested on another website but this has done nothing. All fuses have been checked and are ok, and all lights on the dash board are still working ie, indicators, hand brake, headlights etc.

Can anyone suggest remedies or causes of the problems.

many thanks

Richard
