Default 52 plate focus problem

my speedo cuts out it also feels like the engine is missing a beat and sometimes radio volume increases. this normally all happens at same time and is getting more often.
anyone any ideas please.

its on the gearbox , buy one from ebay or the dealers and get a new pin with it

theres a few how to's online saying how hard it is , mine came out no bother at all , but do make sure you use a quality set of grips on the pin as you dont want to mangle to too badly

as mentioned the speed sensor does effect how the car can run, very cheap item but can be a real pain in the ass to fit
