What made you go to code 110 Andy? I could not find anything about
"900" codes.

OK, I've been to the FSM now. Page 8E-7 lists every code I have (and
they all make sense given the gauges), but they all have "check X" for
the correction. Code 110 says "replace the cluster" which is easy.
Should I replace the cluster and see if that fixes it, or try those
other steps first?
