Hi
I had to send off the instrument cluster to a place in London not sure what they did to fix this but when I got it back and fitted it worked!
I did make a mistake of buying a second hand one then realised because of the mobilizer it wouldn't work but everything did light back up and that's how I knew the problem was the instrument cluster
just need to Google the place that fixes instrument clusters because i can't remember the place i sent it off to.

Hi,
I have already explained
It was the instrument cluster somthing inside must have failed so it was sent off to a specialist place that fixes instrument clusters.
I bought another instrument cluster from ebay at first and fitted it and everything lit back up but the car still wouldn't start because the immobiliser needed recoding and likely all the information like miles needed transferring over and would have been costly.
The cheaper option was to have it sent off to be repaired.
was around £100/£120.

You need to get your motor scanned (preferably with VAG-COM\VCDS) for any error codes logged in the ecu and post them, that will save a lot of guessing and check systems out.

1. There was an electrolytic capacitor which had 2 dry joints. It was also swollen- replaced.
2. Both connectors had multiple dry solder joints. Take your time, use flux gell, get some good heat in and get some quality solder joint repairs happening. Solder them all.
We have a working car again!
