Speedo Probs!

Recommended Posts

Fitted a new speedo cable to cure the needle being shaky and sticking.

 

Everything was ok for about 2 weeks til I was on track last sunday.

 

As soon as I started to up the pace the speedo just went haywire.

 

It now works sometimes and not others.

 

I have checked connection on back of clocks and route of cable etc and all seems ok.

 

Any ideas?

 

Can it come of the box? It looks secure down there.

 

Cheers

A new cable normally cures it. Maybe it's time for a secondhand set of clocks?

Mine went nuts....then stopped.

Theres a speedo drive inside the box, which runs off the diff, then runs the cable. Mine had broke.

Easy enough to see, take the bolt out of the base that hold the cable in place. Pull the casing out. Mine was a red cog that the cable slides into, not sure if there all the same colour. The square hole was pretty much round on mine, so only drove the cable intermitantly etc.

 

There listed on service box. Theres a few different options as to how many teeth it has etc.

 

As for the flickering in general. Ive had a new cable from Peugeot on mine for about 4 months, and its doing it again. I even heatshielded it too :)

If you use it as a track car do you need it?

I use it on the road too mate, I do agree tho that I very rarely look at speed while on the track.

 

Ill check the clocks and then check the drive mech in the box.

 

Cheers guys
