I would say you have a loose connection behind your cluster.

is it much of a job getting to the cluster ???

Look at the dash cowl that shades the top of the guage cluster from below. You will see two torx screws at approx. 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock. These take a T15 torx bit. It is a tight fit and the easiest way to access them is with a torx bit socket and a small wratchet. These are the only thing holding the guage cluster in.

If you havent got a torx set you might aswell get one as all BM's use these, I have the sockets and screwdriver sets. Cheap sets are fine.

If your from the UK , screwfix do them.

Well your ok then as screwfix do all the weird sockets etc for these.

You probably need a new cluster.
