My speedo has stopped working (bounces up every now and then), and I can hear what I think is the cable turning round 'clicking' inside the speedo?!
The end of the cable is square so I'm thinking maybe the hole in the back of the speedo has worn not square, and so it's just spinning round inside catching every now and then?

Any one know if this is the case?

Cheers!

 

Are you sure its clipped in properly Karlos as i had this and found to not be pushed in all the way...also try gearbox end?

 

Yeah checked that, it was in as I had to squeeze the clip to release it, I'm guessing the gearbox end is in as I can hear what I think is it turning.

 

Maybe the speedo is worn then...? Grab another one and giv it ago

 

I had this isue on mine not long back. i change the cable and it was fine.

 

Hmmm I may have another speedo kicking around to try, at least if that doesnt sort it I know it's the cable!

Cheers Fella's!

 

any of you lads know where i can get a 2 piece speedo cable from mines snapped at the gearbox end

 

karlos i have a s2 sitting in my ward if you need a cable/or speedo ... let me know

tommy

 

Dissconnect the dials and drive and see if the cables turning whilst your driving Mine did this and it was the speedo drive in the box

 

Cheers Tommy!
Yeah I was thinking that, good idea!

 

Speedo drive gear in the box !

 

mine was bouncing becauase the diff bearings had collapsed and was making the speedo drive gears mesh sometimes then stop then it chewed the ring gear and the drive and the box smashed soon after within about 3 miles lol

 

hahahaha oh dear!!
This only happened since I removed the clocks the other day so I'm fairly certain it's a problem that end, but having had them out and made sure the cable was in properly i'm a bit confused.......
So I'll do the above and see whats going on!
