Switching off tacho in bcm should put mileage back onto speedo display.

thanks for that reply but do think that switching off the tacho will let the speedo start working again it is srange that they both stopped working at the same time

In the wiring diagram the speedo and tacho are wired on the same wires so i will say that they are both using can bus to decide which 1 shows the info, this will be down to config as Ake says.
