any ideas what it will be pulled the clocks out tonight and made sure the cable was on properly that seemed ok also the needle is jumping up and down when touching the fitting at the back of the clock so next thing is either the drive out the back of the box or the cable are these prone to going and are they stil available from fords

 

my cable snapped just as it goes in the gearbox think its a pretty common thing to go on older cars.

10 min job at the most

think i got my cable from allparts, but the sleeve was diffrent to the ford one that went in the vack of the clocks, still works tho

 

thanks got a second hand 1 coming of a mate now will be sticking it on in the morning

 

Mines gone too, freaky

 

i hope its the cable or will make going to silverstone on sunday interesting

 

Happened to mine too. Just drive with the clocks off to see if it turns. If not chances are the cable is broken. Mine ended up to be the worm drive was all worn and knackered

 

mine broke two years ago lol i just use my road angel

 

Haha I actually done that for a bit too

 

funnty that cos that was the 1 st thing nashy said to me

 

Turbo tends to melt the cable and things get sticky. This can cause the hassles quite often. If the cable doesn't turn up in time its better to leave it disconnected - from both ends if possible so that it doesn't knacker the gearbox end either... or it won't be an easy fix I'm afraid.

 

Matt Lewis sells new cables, they are probe to breaking, also it is not unknown for the drive gear to strip, but bought one of these recently from ford, about 6 months ago I think for a 2wd.
tabetha

 

i just replace my speeod drive. my cable melted and hollowed out the square in the drive.
