hi i need some help berfore i spend some money
my speedo has stopped working and the engine check light has come on and is in limp home mode.

i have removed the speedo clocks and checked the speedo cable/mph converter which seem ok.
when i spin it buy hand the disc thing which looks like a magnet does not spin the one in side connected to the dial needle thus not moving the needle?
hope this make sense.

 

Speedo cable has snapped by the sounds of it (common problem) ...pretty easy to get hold of a S/H one off fleabay ...PITA to fit!

 

thanks i will check that

 

2nd that its normally the elbow from the gearbox

 

speedo cable is ok,
i have removed the black converter and plugged the speedo cable in without and not working?
i guess it new clock time?

 

does anyone have a spare mph converter black plug to buy as the inside white rod (sorry dont know the proper words ha)has snapped?or where to get a cheap one?

 

Your clock should work with or without the converter fitted

To test your clock is working is pretty easy ...attach a cordless screwdriver/ drill) to the back of it (be careful what 'bit' you use & be careful with the drill speed to avoid damaging the clock) & see if it moves

Repeat this with your converter connected to the clock to test the converter

& then finally attach the cable to the back of the clock & disconnect it at the gearbox end & attach the drill (you'll need to get under the car & get a mate to see if the speedo is moving ...& it's a PITA to refit!)

yeh clocks working ok but in kph.its the converter that that has broke.
and the cel light has gone out strangly and can get some boost.
