You will need to let people know what year the car is, and if it is a Multiplex (chunky indicator/wiper/radio stalks) or a Pre-Plex (Skinny Indicator/wiper/radio Stalks)

No, on a '99 it would be pre-plexed.
I am not 100% (but someone will correct me) but you may need a new/2nd hand instrument cluster.
This is a common fault, so if you do a search (top left corner) and see what you can find. You will probably be able to solve your problem without putting up your own post

What does the live data read?
If you need a new cluster, it needs yo be one of a similar.mileage to yours.

eBay would be your best bet.
Maybe a local scrapyard?

It doesn't matter too much, but if you get one from a lower spec car it might not have some of the functions (i.e Rev Counter/Oil Pressure Guage) I don't know what spec comes with what so you will have to look that up yourself!
As long as it is from a Preplexed one, then it should be fine

Not a problem,
Lee will correct me if I am wrong as he knows his stuff.
Don't take what I say as gospel though, until you have double checked (Or Lee tells you!)

I had an erratic rev counter once which also did nothing at times and it was down to a cracked ABS Ring.
