Default Instruments on dash display all maxed out


First the temperature gauge went up, followed by the fuel gauge, rev counter and speedo.

Though the rev counter and speedo have yet to max out, they will after a few more minutes of driving.

When the car eventually cools down, the dials all reset themselves and the car will start ad drive like normal for about 20 minutes before repeating the same.

If anyone is able to offer come guidance, it would be very much appreciated.

Just a heads-up for anyone suffering the same problem.

I disconnected the earth battery terminal for about 2 hours and when I reconnected, the ECU had reset and the problem hasn't reoccurred.

I took a chance and I bought a second hand dash in eBay for £20.

The problem is now fixed.
