hi, i have an n reg 16v sri
my fuel temp and tacho have stopped working, but my tacho and rest start working now and again, especially noticed by the tacho as it flicks on and off sometimes really quick, then works, then stops completely! how random, and ideas guys?!
my battery light came on too, around the time my dials went funny! but ive driven it for a couple of days now, and surely if i had a dicky alternator the battery would be flat by now!!??
also, it revs up someimes at junctions, is this my icv??
deary me, probs probs probs!
help help!

Fuel temp?
Tacho will more than likely be a bad earth somewhere.
It won't be the ICV, because I guess the engine is still ideling correctly.

sorry
my fuel, temp, and tacho....
thought it might b an earth or connection or something, as its like the whole pannel (except speedo) stops working, then starts again! could a bad earth on the dials possible make the battery light show?? like it is doing
when i come 2 some junctions it drops down 2 about 1200 reva then rises again 4 a monent to 2000, and then idles, jus a bit annoying!

Meh, so long as it idles it should be ok 
As for the dials, bad earth, loose connections, missing connections... Check for those sorts of things. When you have your lights turned on do the dash lights turn on and off at the same time as the dials? If they do, your plug is probably dropping out of the back of the dials. That happened to me
