the speedo in my cos has stopped working.. the cable seems ok and so does the actuall clock and am thinking maybe its the drive in the gearbox.. is this easily fixed or has the box got to be removed.. also does anyone know how the spa digital speedos work that are for sale in demon tweeks.. do they run off the same cable or another way.. it says they have to have wheel sizes ect programmed in... any ideas please..... ta..

 

Box out to change it,split rear end of box off

Take the speedo sender out of the side of the gearbox,get a torch and see if the cog that drives the speedo is visable could be that its loose on the shaft and moving freely and not turning the speedo drive,if it is there stick your finger in and see if it moves on shaft
This is what happened to mine the speedo cable melted solid by the turbo and fooked the cog in the box

Might be hard to get the parts for that too

 

just use the old fail safe method of seeing how fast the lamp posts r going by to judge your speed

 

no m8 you dont have to take the box out to change the spedo drive its held in with a allen key and a d shaped washer it slides out yes very hard to get hold of i have a mint of if you need it should take no more than 30 min to change

 

but i bet my left bollock it aint the outer one i bet its the main shaft cog

 

thanks for the help ill get it on ramps and have a look at it.. just dumped an old box at the tip too... oh well...

 

matt lewis sells the cable on ebay as for the cog i wish you luck

 

I'll bet my right bollock it is,you win a pair then if we are wrong

 

Oh dear,very silly dumping a T5,got to make room for old things like that these days

 

it had been in a wooden box out the garden for 3 years all in bits and full of slugs and spiders... i hate bloody spiders ...
