You just need to clean the hall sensor pick up with brake cleaner and re-fit. Done it loads of times in the past and as always worked great.

You could try resoldering all the joints on the two connectors of the Dash PCB.
406 estate, 2.1TD, I fixed her, then part exchanged her for a Mercedes E300TD Avantgarde Estate.
Hmmmm, straight 6 goodness!
