i think alot of fords have this problem, mine does it mostly at 40-50mph then after 60 and above it doesnt wobble, anyway what part does it need to cure it?

 

Just a new speedo cable if IIRC

Ed

 

awesome, pocket money job then, thats what i like to hear

 

could be the bearings though.....

 

gearbox bearings
















possibly

 

Best way to find out, fit a new cable first being cheapest and easiest (I believe yours could be a two piece item) and if it still wobbles then you know its your bearings, but 9 times out of ten, its the cable.

 

sorted, nice one chaps

 

or its been clocked

 

Ive owned the car over 2 years so no chance of that

 

beofre you owned it?

also put a bit of oil in the cable before you renew it, even cheaper than a new cable

 

dojj it aint been bloody clocked, ok?

Cheers people, its going in for an MOT next week so ill sort it out altogether

 

Mine just started doing this too, I hope it is the box and not the cable! Mine is on its way out and the diff whines when it comes on boost so time to put the CTS one back in, dont fancy changing the cable too

 

not a problem, just doesn't like the top speed runs

 

 

I removed the speedo cable from my bird's mk6 escort a few months back when i broke it for spares, it was a BASTARD to get out, never mind getting it back in again!

 

lucky i wont be doing it then

 

did you sort it then?
and did you clock it

 

now moved to the correct section

 

Next thursday is MOT day, my mechanic mate will do the cable for me on the same day hopefully
