Thanks Harvey The garage owner has fetched my vehicle this morning,so i have asked him to check and see if he can repair the indicator .They will let me know once the car is finished,as there are other things that i have asked them to check as well. Will let you know,once i get her back again.

Thanks Harvey I will forward accordingly.I have been tellling them that i think there is something else causing the speedo to keep failing, but it seems that the mech knows better than me , so everytime it fails i send back to him at his cost.I think they have now realised the i am right ,and...

Having had another chat to my mech it seems that the speedo end is ok.He had disconnected both ends and tested the cable, by turning it.The speedo would then work fine. This indicates that the gearbox side is at fault.How big an excersize is it to rectify this,and does the gearbox need to be...

Hi there Have you thought about the thermostat , it may need replacing as this can affect the reading.

Hi Phil I removed the fuel filter and blew through it .There was a no. of small sandlike deposits,put it back and then took her for a run.As my speedo cable had snapped,i decides to drive her a around 4500 rpm (thinking that the engine would rally be working here) for around 30kms.I think this...
