hi, can anyone help ive tested all the wires in the little loom at the back and the main loom i've reolaced the cluster (i know this works i've seen it in action) and the f**ing thing still wont work. could it be the relay (has any one got a list of what relay/fuse does what)?
Im carless, BUT, hope to remedy that fairly soon, plus, need to actually be able to drive first so that gets priority!!

how very helpful of you Neil!!!

girls, have you tested resistance across the pick-up sensor for the speedo? the white bit that the connector plugs into? sometimes these fail, which would obviously cause loss of speedo

however, checking the fuse is a priority, as my mate spent about £90 trying to fix an inop speedo, when all it was in the end was a fuse he'd blown when installing his radio!! numbnut :mad:

Check your conection on the diff, mine has come unstuck with the wether I presume, so could be that. To small wires that are conected to the diff, may well need to be reconected. But as the guys said, check your fuses too. 8)
