Strange Speedo problem...

Re: Strange Speedo problem...

Thanks for the replies.. my attention has been swayed by the brake lights not working just before I was going to book the mot... bulbs good, all fuses good, pedal switch good... I spent many hours rewiring the wipers and washers this last week; this brake problem looks like more of the same It doesn't help that there is no wiring diagram from YKC & the wire colours at one part of a circuit are different to another part... I see a long day stretching out in front of me today!

Have you had a look here or there an article on Smiths Speedo repair

Re: Strange Speedo problem...

One of the gears that drives the odo/trip has probably sized or broken. There are companies who can repair these speedos. I used speedy cables to fix my vdo guage.

I need to get a better picture, but here's a bad shot of it... The speedometer works but the odometer & trip mileage counter doesn't ?? There is only one speedo cable fitted and the speedo unit was fitted new in 2002, it used to work fine. The car has realistically only done 575 - 600 miles (it sat for 8 years). I'm trying to get the MOT this week but afterwards I'd like to fix this issue. I'll most likely remove it & open it up to see whether something's broken or rusted. If no fix then I'll be on the hunt for a replacement.



Has anyone come across such a case before?
