SNORTED! Yay!

[SCOTT325SE]

Just taken my car for its maiden voyage and the speedo and mpg meter doesnt work.

It may be a question for the experts (Step forward Mr Moore) lol but, am i right in thinking that if the speedo doesnt work, then the swingometer will never work? My thinking is that the dash cluster needs to know how fast its going in order to work out its mpg.
If I sort the speedo problem, do you think it will sort the swingometer too?

Any ideas on what will be causing my speedo not to work? The rev counter works fine, temp works fine, fuel guage works fine, just speed and mpg dont.

If anyone has any ideas, please post up.

I have a multi and a garage full of tools. This is the last thing i think it could fail on, so its pretty urgent.

Massive thabnk you in advance.

May be a silly question Scott, but is the plug on the back of the diff ok?

[SCOTT325SE]

just got it sorted guys. Yea, plug was fine, that was the first thing i checked. then got the multi out and checked we had continuity round the circuit. we didnt. turns out we had a wire connected wrong under trhe rear bench.

its now ready for MOT tomorrow. WOOOHHOOOO!

How did you manage to get the wires wrong? Plug and socket only go together one way.
Speedo is not necessary for MOT in any case as the car isn't driven, and they wouldn't know.
