I've asked this before and no one could help but I thought I'd try again:
I changed the battery in my 1998 V70 T5. Since I did this I now have: no
speedometer, no tachometer, no display. Only thing that works on the dash
is fuel gauge and temp gauge. Odometer still works but it has changed to
kilometers. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or if its fixable at all?

Did you disconnect the battery a few minutes, then reconnect it?
 
On the S80 there is a warning in the drivers hand book to allow 5 minutes
after switching off ignition and disconnecting the battery. This allows all
the electric settings to be stored. It might also apply to the V70. Knowing
this will not solve your problem but might help you in the future and others
to avoid this problem.
If this was an S80 it means a dealer installation of software.

Disconnect the earth lead again and let it sit for 10mins or more. Then
reconnect in one bold movement- try not to flash the lead.
