Hiya All :D
After a recent ride out, i find my speedo isnt working, all it does is get to 5-10mph, then sit there .... worked fine last week, and the odometer seems to be fine, according to the GPS speedo on my phone ...
Can these be refurbished, or is it just broken, and will the cruise control still work etc? ...
Thanks In Advance, guys :D

Check with these people.  And they might be able to point you to someone in the UK who could do the work.  http://www.instrumentclusters.com/

Wbago got a picture of the speedo ? I have my old one from my 1977 Mini Winni Chevrolet C Class it works just fine  I can set it to whatever mileage you want . It has just over 100 K Its in a complete dash pkg with all gauges  they all work  Frank P.S I think there is a pic in my gallery of when it turned 100 K

Maybe it doesnt work because its built to display MPH and Ian is trying to get it to read Km/H?

Here's the photo I've got on my phone, speedo not really shown, I'll grab another pic later...
Just found a refurbishment bloke here, silly prices lol..  Currently using my android phone, works good for now, so not in too much of a rush  :)
Not sure bout the MPH/KPH comment Mike, all MPH here mate anyway..

It was a feeble attempt at trying to be funny.

My first thought is the the speedo cable is broken. Have you checked it?

Wbago

nope, havnt checked anything as yet, but i was assuming the speedo because the total mileage digits are clocking by as normal .. :D
