I bought a mk2 Mondeo on Monday, then on Tuesday I lost the speedo on the instrument cluster for 30 seconds. It has been fine up until today where on a 3 hour trip it worked for literally less than a minute. Now it's not working at all.

When I loose the speedo the fuel gage also creeps up by around 1/4 of a tank, then when speedo randomly cuts back in the fuel light goes on the but the fuel gage stays the same then slowly settles back down to the right level. Also the airbag light is on regardless of what the speedo is doing, I have no idea if the airbag light is related.

Before I start investigating is there any classic problem with these symptoms I should be looking at? Has the cluster just had it? Thanks in advance.
