Used the car this morning and all in order.
Went out again late morning and when I turned the key, the rev counter/fuel gauge and temp gauge remained in total darkness and all at zero.
All warning lights came on and stayed on.
Digital speedo was illuminated but showed zero and remained at zero when I drove.
Went directly to my local dealer (albeit not where I purchased the car) hoping it might be something simple such as fuses.
Dealer said if I could leave the car with them they'd check it that afternoon.
Within 3 hours called to say problem rectified for now but that they will order a new speedometer assembly and call me back in to fit same within the next week.
I have no idea what failed and why but will establish same when car goes in for replacement.
Full marks to ALM Honda in Macclesfield, Cheshire, for such fantastic service on this occasion.
Anyone else had a similar problem ?
