Got a bit of a problem with my gauges. I have fitted EGT, oil temp and pressure where the stereo usually is. When I put the car into reverse the gauges flicker. I think that it is down to a bad earth somewhere. I have cleaned up 2 of the body earths and it made no difference. Anyone got any ideas what the problem is?

Try cleaning more earths, there's a shit load all very the place, I'd start with the gearbox ones personally

So I have cleaned up the gearbox earth and the 2 earth just in front of the battery and its made no difference. Is there any other earths that I don't know about?

 I have changed the earth wire to the gauges for a bigger wire but still no difference
