Ok So I got around to work on the gauges. They are getting power to all the quages. Tested the fuel float thing in the tank and it is working and sending to the gauge, but the gauge is not registering what it should be. The temp is not registering anything either. And the RPM is not working either. It is all getting power. It lights up when I turn on the lights and the other lights work, like the lights around the fuel and temp gauges for hight beams and the other two lights work.

How does the rpm work, does it run off the coil? How and what does the voltage stabilizer for the gauges look like? The speedo work but now it doesn't. Is there something wrong with the whole cluster? What should I be looking at?

they look to be nippon seki gauges some people have problems with them what year is your clubman? the voltage staberliser is inside one of the gauges i cant remember which one tho but you can buy a moddern replacement, the speedo is just cable driven so plugs in to the back of the gauge in the square slot and then fits into the gearbox,when i fitted these to my 77 clubman i found that the fuel guage read 3/4 full when i brimmed the tank and the temp didnt evan get near warm something todo with old sender units and different ohms i believe.

my clubman i believe is a 71. I do have another aftermarket temp gauge in the mini I can run that, but don't know how to to hook that up. I also have another set of nippon seki gauges from my 91 cooper i will try to get that and see if that works.
