The driver board is inside the tach. It needs to come apart to diagnose the issue.

I am not very technically minded so would be grateful of any input as to how it all works and any help to resolving the issue.

Connecting a voltmeter to the purple/black wire doesn't tell you anything. That is the tach signal, which is basically a square wave. You want to connect your voltmeter to the 12V and Ground wires to make sure your regulator is working and the voltage isn't spiking when you rev the engine.
These tachs will work fine up to 20V, so your issue is more likely a damaged driver board, which could happen as a result of a bad regulator, so you want to check that before you repair the tach and put it back in.
