Sounds like you have a bad connection in the wiring that goes to the instruments.

but every bit of the gauge cluster has been renewed, i was maybe thinking a bad relay? do i check that with a polarity relay
You know, our forum has this thing about cheap connectors. did you affix every connection point with solder? It seems (even thou yours has been out yet, that the readily available connectors, don't hold up to the vibrations. That and you have to get the better crimper. not the one that might be used for stereo parts.

How did you get the gauge lights working? If they kinda just started working it is very clear that it is a connection issue. Its a PITA but your best bet is to take all the connections to the parts not working and create soldered connections.
