Avoid bumps? :undecided: :wink:

some are unavoidable....

Loose electrical connection?

my money would be on ignition switch in particular since lights/dials on the dash died in addition to engine.
second best bet is something's loose in your central electrics.

Sounds like the crank sensor wires earthing
-
crank sensor wiring would not cause ALL gauges to go down as ignition is still on - you should still see temp and petrol level at least. hence my money is on ign switch or connection (central electrics)
