Hi, im new to the forum so hi everyone.
I own 2 E34's, a white 1990 520i manual and my new blue 1992 520i se automatic.

Basically when driving the automatic, all dials and indicators periodically go nuts and turn themselves off & on. When it happens I loose all the speedo, rev limiter, mileage, what mode im in etc.. everything goes except the background orange lighting.

It flickers on and off when moving the steering wheel to turn. When the panel decides to turn itself back on, I get all lights flash up (abs, parking light, out of petty indicator, etc..) it resets my mileage couter also, which doesn't help me when my petrol indicator is on the blink!

Seems as though there is a loose connection somewhere. When I start the car and the dash is working, the temperature indicator hovers into the red area straight away (even if the car hasn't been driven for days!), and then when the engine warms up the indicator sits bang in the middle like it's meant too.

My petrol indicator will never go up further than half way, and is very inaccurate at the best of times.

Anyone had problems like these before?
Would appreciate any advice! Cheers

Gary
