Its possible that a wire has loose at the back of the instrument binnacle, it should be pretty obvious upon close inspection. Have a look for corrosion around the printed circuit points where the instrument pod connects into. Double check all of the fuses to be on the safe side.

Sounds a bit dodgy to me, all the clocks do is interpret electrical signals, chances are that its something simple.

Do you mean your speedo and rev counter are not working?

Which dials exactly aren't working?

The FTO's dial cluster (speedo, rev counter, etc) is a plug and play job in that it literally plugs into the dash so you need to pull out the dial cluster and have a look behind for loose wires - also check the back of the dial cluster. There is a printed circuit board on there - check if for breaks, etc.

This pdf doc explains how to remove and refit the dash cluster....
