thanks guys. The battery light used to come on with key 'on', now no light. I dropped column and pushed a few wires and now all gauges work but the fuel and battery stay on and reading even with ignition off. got me stuffed as i didnt go anywhere near the bloody cluster!

You might want to read the steering column thread with the possible results of dropping the steering column from the upper bolts. Looks like it can easily crack the column internally. Probably has nothing to do with the wiring issue though.
