Ford Focus MK1 - Instrument Panel Dies Help - Dilligaf76

Whilst driving my instrument panel suddenly dies and the speedo drops to zero and then it suddenly comes back to life only to do the same thing again, also the car seems to lose very slight power when it does it?

I have read that sometimes it can be just the instrument panel that's faulty, if so can you just swop it for another or does it have to be coded?

Instrument panels were troublesome on 2002-4 models . The panel would go completely blank. This is an easy fix . The other issue of speedometer drop out and loss of power, is due to the speed sensor on the gearbox. A common problem.
