can anyone help me out before i go insane??

PS ill put up the number/code it comes up with tomorrow

Might be your ignition switch (a $30 part), my cluster did the same until i replaced it. Those numbers relate back to a code which you can reset, try looking for didital tacho on this forum.
I've had the cluster out also, its not to hard (1hr) except you should take the steering wheel off to do it properly (and proper airbag reset). Might be worth a check to see if the wiring is in properly

Taking the instrument cluster out takes like less than 10min and you don't need to take the steering wheel of. First time you do it it might be a bit fiddly but next time you'll be doing it quick as.

Make sure you disconnect the battery before removing airbag and wheel too...
