Unhappy One problem to another

Hi all.

I Replaced the globe in the back of my instrument cluster because it blew a couple of months ago. I had half removed the cluster when I broke the lens. So I though **** it. I'll just buy another, cause it was stuffed anyway.

But when I replaced the lens, I accidentally knocked the tacho needle.
Now I done a search using several combinations (needle, tacho, cluster etc) but didn't come up with anything.

Now when I start the car, the tacho sits on about 250rpm, and with the car off, instead of sitting on zero, it sits hard against the bottom of the cluster (about 1cm below "0" on tacho).

How do I reset / calibrate it?

I tried moving it with my hand, but it doesn't matter where you move it, as soon as you start the car, it will jump right to the bottom, then move up to 250rpm again?

Help please, this is driving me nutters.... :
