Hi, new to this forum so not sure if I’m posting it the right place but looking for advice. I have a trident autosleeper. The fuel gauge and temp gauge have stopped working (most of the time) - I have read this is a common fault but am unsure of where to look at getting this sorted? The garage informed me that it would be best to take it out and send it off? Any advice much appreciated!

Don't forget to tell them exactly what year and model you have, as the Trident has been made for a couple of decades and could be on two (or even three?) different base vehicles.

If it's T4 based, I think there's a circuit board fault which can mean that the instrument cluster has to be replaced, but there may be other possibilities (e.g. the instruments voltage regulator, if it's separate from the cluster on your model).
