Shhh! There's no need to shout!  ;)  ;)  ;)  :y  :y  :y

What about other gauges dials & warning lamps? It might just be your dash isn't seated properly.  :-/  :y

Never had rev counter issues when abs ecu went on Estate.  Had abs & tc lights on, no speedo and heavy steering.  Rev counter worked ok.

Sounds like a dodgy connection on the clocks ... try pushing firmly right in the middle of the instrument panel, it might reseat the connection.
