I stop turn motor off and when I went to start it it won't. No power. So I checked battery and earth connect was loose so I tighten it and it started, but all dash gauges do not work but everything else does.

I suspect there is a possible fuse issue. Let's go to the fuse panel and check the fuses using the guide below.

Unfortunately we don't have a manual on this vehicle as it is not offered here in the USA but if you found the ground loose then I suspect when you remove it or tightened it, there was a quick short which could have blown a fuse.

Let us know what you find with the fuse for the cluster and we can go from there. Thanks
