Don't believe everything the "proffesionals" tell you.
When i got my car the RPM counter were not working in my car, wich i ofc could not live with, i went to the local part store and i was told that i had to talk directly with peugeot.
Whilst the peugeot salesman were really nice he however could not help me with the repair of my dashboard, but he could ofc order a brand new one for the small sum of 770pound. To say atleast i was not ammused.
Since i did not have 770pound with the label new dashbuard on i decided that it was worth looking into dashboard repairs myself, it didn't work anyways so why not see if i could find the problem.
And i could! The dashboard were actual quite simple indside and had parts you could easy take in and out. I found out that the problem were a small servo who moves the needle. Again i took the small servo to Peugeot, and the salesman argued that they did not sell this part but a new dashboard could be ordered for the small sum mentioned before. I went home again and decided to try to repair the small servo myself.
Here is how it went :

There were no what so ever problems in fixing this little motor, and since it felt much smoother after the repair than the servo from the speedometer, i decided to actually do the same to it aswell
