Im Having Problems With My Fuel Gauge And Speedometer :(

In January i had the MOT for my car done, the only thing it failed on was the ABS light not coming on.

I had the garage fit a new bulb but since then i have recently had problems with the dash board.

As it stands now, the Fuel gauge just reads empty all the time, the speedometer stopped working yesterday. The rear fog dash light bulb no longer illuminates and one of the rear fog lights (passengers side) does not change to higher intensity when switched on Its not the bulb as i swapped the two sides over and had the same problem.

Do the bulbs in the dash have to be soldered in? or do they just clip in like the rear brake lights ect.I am rather annoyed that all these problems are stemming from this garage changing one bulb, how likely is it that all the problems could be related to something they may have done?

Also its not like i have done loads of miles since then either 2,000 maximum, Im lookin for other opinions not really sure i want to take it back to this garage but dont want to spend a load for something someone else may have caused, and in turn should put right.

Thank god i know a reputable place that work on my Motorbike :D
