    any1 had this problem before as it is really getting on my nervs.
    and secondly the esp light is on all the time? what could this be.
    any help is appreciated.

    You'll need a fault code scan done for both things.

    Sounds like a dodgy connection, check the 32 pin connector is latched in properly in the rear of the speedo 1st, then look at other reasons.

    Only thing that would turn it on & off would be ignition, if its a dodgy barrel, I would get it properly diagnostically checked, when the cluster goes of, does the engine still continue running ok?

    If needs a replacement cluster, we may have 1 available.

    The radio goes of aswell, as in the display goes completely of, no lights nothing?

    If so then I'm still thinking ignition barrel related tbh.

    Anything else light up or go of at same time?

    Yes the radio goes off at the same time then iv gotta put code back in.
    All the lights on display go off so do the auto window button lights and the cig lighter light goes off too.
    Then all comes back 5seconds later.

    I cant be 100% over the net, but if all of that is happening, for me it suggests power resetting, so ignition would be my 1st look at diagnostically, but the fact the radio needs a code again is very weird, so it could be the cluster as radio should remember the vin no & not require the code.

    What year & engine is this?
