found this box behind the dash with yellow red green and blue wires is this the converter??? and have i put them back in the cluster correctly??

 

Well that's your convertor alright. I'm sure my wires are different colours unfortunately. If they are wrong the speedo won't do diddly, what make is the convertor? It should be on the small box.

Have you connected the dimmer light switch?

 

I believe when I did mine I panicked my wasn't working and then noticed I hadn't connected the dimmer switch on the right hand side of the dash.

That's a nasty way to do the conversion, I'd be wanted to rip that all out and do it properly for a start! Can you post a pic of the convertor box as it'll help give an idea what you have there. Most of the cheap ebay ones don't send a corrected output for the variable power steering assistance which can make the car horrible to steer...
