if you get the no bus with the xj running then it is the wiring that goes into the back of the cluster...can try to push or smack the cluster for a temp. fix or pull cluster and clean/grease connections

There was a TSB/Recall on that. The CF tech gurus should be able to help or advise you. Do some searching or make the call to a dealer's service adviser - hopefully you'll get a knowledgeable and honest one. My '99 had the same trouble about six/seven years ago. I think the dealership reworked or replaced the CAN bus cables.
