Hi, I have just bought a Nissan Vanette Van and have discovered that the dash isn't working correctly. The speedometer sticks at 60kms, the fuel gage isnt working at all and im not sure about the temperature. Any help would be greatfully received.
Thanks, Danny

Speedometer needle tends to bend and get stuck anywhere. You need to remove the meter cluster and take the meter cover off. Apply a little heat to the needle and straighteningit should work. As to the fuel gauge not working, yuo need to test if it is the meter or the sending unit in the tank that is causing the problem.
