Did you replace the PCB on the back of the cluster?

The Fail on Diag mode is not a good sign at all - the trip could be buggered or the PCB may have a cracked track in it.

Vq series 2

Hi I just got a vq series 2 caprice, 5ltr auto IRS, only problem car has is the speedo on the level 3 dash, previous owner told me she took out the cluster to install white face dials reinstalled and the fuel gauge was not working so she tried again and fuel gauge was working, when she took it for a spin speedo started pulsing at 75km and above (sits on speed for a few seconds needle jumps to zero then back to current speed) which also makes cruise control not work at these speeds, cluster was replaced with a known working unit from identical model and priblem still persists, Any ideas?
Thanks

speed sensor on the gearbox would be my guess.

Thanks I will try the speed sensor first, is it the same unit vn vp vq v6 and v8
