The Bulbs in the speedometer are mostly blown and the one or two that are working going on and off. Also, in damp or rainy weather the warning light for engine overheating comes on after a minute or two. When I switch the engine off and on it stays off.

Hey JURGEN,

Sorry for the slow response, it has been super busy. This sounds like to separate problems, first plug a scanner in to see what code you have, here is a guide

Then you need to remove the cluster to replace the bulbs, this video will give you an idea how how to do it

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken
