got a 98 sport and my speedo has stopped working and check engine light comes on after about 10 miles of driving it doesnt have a cable and been told it could be speed sensor or speedo itself any ideas? also if it helps it drives fine with no limp mode at 4k like ive read on forum about
would appreciate any help
thanks

Do you have 180 clocks with a speedo down-convertor fitted?

Could it be the convertor's worked loose? This could explain why there is no lip home mode, as the gearbox speed sensor is still seeing the convertor input side rotating okay... but that the clocks don't work because the convertor's worked loose on the speedo side(?)

Not sure if this is actually a feasable scenario, just trying to have an'educated' guess...

na mate they are 140 clocks not an import so will it still have a converter?

Doh, my bad. 98 Sport.

Sorry about that - 140 clocks already in mph as intended for the UK market, so no convertor obviously.

Does your mileometer & trip meter still work??

If so, the pack is receiving a speed signal.

speedo seems to work all be it erratic for about 10-15 miles and check engine light stays on then speedo and mileometer die and light comes on done a code check and its saying speed sensor so thats what i,ll change and see how i get on
thanks to everyone who helped i,ll let you know how i get on
