The only thing between this car and an MOT is that the LCD clocks don't work. The back light does, the lower warning lamps do but no LCD readout for Speedo Revs Petrol or anything. Also no battery light but I think that would be LCD too. Had them out, cleaned both connectors, took the PCB out, there are a few suspect bits but we aren't electrical engineers.. What controls them, is there a computer/ ecu/ relay/ anything anyone can suggest? Thanks.

Give Derek Hunt the monzaman a ring (www.monzaman.com) as I am sure he will be able to help. If he cant then try speedy cables as they overhaul vdo digital instruments.

I don't think the instruments are MOT test requirements.
ABS and Airbag lights are, but not revs or speedo etc.

Speedo is.
These are controlled using an analogue/electrical converter mounted on the top of the gearbox - you can also get the signal from an ABS ring on the driveshaft. Get a replacement transducer from an Astra GTE on ebay - they're quite pricey now though. I'd check the little plastic nub that goes into the box on the t/ducer isn't damaged.
