The dash is on can-bus network,a short in the wiring or other modules on same network will stop cluster working.
Towbar module and wiring usually under the plastic cab step in ns,water in this,or even the unused connector/plug could cause the issue.

Thanks Frag I disconnected the fuse board which is under steering wheel in front of right leg the one which has to big brown connectors and a blue, When i checked its fuses and reconnected it,the dash came back to life but later was dead again, Then I rather stupidly tried electrical cleaner in ignition barrel and now when i put key in the steering wheel remains locked and key won't turn, any ideas I'm having bad week :roll:
