Loss of Dashboard/Traction Control Light Permanently On

Hi,

I have a focus 2.0L Ghia 03 plate. Just lately the traction control light comes on by itself and then I lose all the dashboard display - the trip meter and milometer LED display goes to ------, the spedo, rev, fuel and oil needles all drop to 0. I've just rang the local Ford garage and been told to take it in so they can diagnose the problem for £94!! Which to be honest I can't really afford.... I can't seem to find anything about this so was wondering if anyone here could help? I have just had an MOT and 4 new tyres - perhaps something was 'knocked' during this???

Any advice gratefully received.

Thank you!!
