Welcome on in Tristan!
The dash bulbs are fairly straightforward, you have to remove the dash surround (couple of torx screws in the top & it pulls out), then 4 torx screws to remove cluster. The bulbs are the little twist in jobbies.
With regards the filler flap: see here!

And the tacho drops could be down to dry joints. While you have the speedo unit out, run a soldering iron over the connections
