Hi y'all was wonderin if i could have a little help please i am having probs with my speedo not workin most of the time the needle stays there on 0mph but some times it will pop up and work (very rarely though) this is startin to do my head in now as i never know how fast (or slow) i am goin although on the bright side this does keep my milage down :rofl: my only concern is that the mrs likes to drive my car and she has a bit of a heavy foot lol and i a bit worried that she gonna end up with a ticket.
Any help would be appreciated i was told that i could be the sensor that goes into the dif is this true and how much would one of these cost

Cheers peeps

The sensor and sealing ring are about £12 from the dealers, although apparently's it the wires near the sensor which break usually and cause the problems.

Give them a gentle pull and see if they move more than they should :)
