Speedo has just decided to pack up, Any Ideas on the the obvious places to take a look. I guess maybe the point a where its driven from underneath. I did try a search but not to much about it. Ta.

I had my speedo drop to 0mph while driving to the MOT centre last night, gave it a dunt and it popped back up to the driving speed. Hope it stays on through the MOT! either way I'll have it out to check the connections when I collect the car tonight. I've had the gauge cluster out to reset the timing belt lamp a couple times so I'm guessing there's a plug not quite home.
If not I'm going to to have to start saving up for a new truck me thinks!

There's a little sensor on the gearbox (I think) that can pack up, although on mine it did turn out to be the Speedo itself that was at fault. I believe you can remove it and check for broken tracks but I didn't have much luck. A replacement set of clocks sorted it though.
I do have a spare sensor though if you want to give that a go first.Comment

Didn't think speedo was part of the MOT as they've no way of checking accuracy. Rules could have changed recently I suppose.Originally posted by cabbage View PostCutting steps in the roof of the worldComment

A broken speedo is not a MOT fail or advisory.Comment

It passed anyway and the speedo was still working all the way home as well! Happy days!Originally posted by BUSHWHACKER View Post
I always thought it was an MOT fail, was a real pain on the old landrovers as the replacement speedo cables were crap and failed regularly. I used to have one decent original cable that went on all my vehicles as I gave up buying shite new ones!Last edited by cabbage; 4 March 2013, 20:40.Comment

Any chance it's a loose fuse? Happened me on the way to a driving test in Mrs Feys Freelander recently; swift blast of "percussive maintainence" to the fusebox cured it fast!!Comment
