Got in from work yesterday had a quick bite to eat & then usual walk with the dog, loaded him in the Hyundai & once mobile noticed the rev counter was not moving off zero, two weeks off from today so set off with the dog today & all working again ! Any thoughts as to why never had this on any vehicle before.
-
Likely to be at the instrumentation end, rather than ECU/sensor end.
-
If I had to bet, I'd say either a bad connection or the rev counter on its way out. I doubt it could be anything at the "sender" end or the car wouldn't start or would light up like a Christmas tree.

As long as everything else carries on working I will leave it alone, rev counter not really that important on the old workhorse, sounds like a fix could be expensive, still working ok this morning.

Some diesel rev counters are alternator fed,don't know if yours is one of them ???
