Does the red line light up at all? I'd check the connections behind the dash.

Ohh right, never mind about that then! Just pull the dash out and check all of the connections with a multimeter back to the ecu.

Have finally sourced an Ignition Fail Sensor (part number MD 374437) and it did the trick. Tacho works a treat. Thank you Fred for saving me the painful dash investigations ;)

Could be the IFS. If not it could simply be a loose connection behind the speedo cluster.

Ignition Fail Sensor, (part number above). Takes about 3 weeks to arrive from japan at $140ish - trade price.
