Speedos not working

[RussGTR]

Got a busted speedo.

Does anyone know the best way to get to the back of the instrument cluster?

Any other cool mods i could possibly do while im back there?

Maybe i could *cough* spin those little numbers on the speedo and see if i can rack up all zeros *cough*.

*cough* illegal *cough*

But seriously, anyone got any ideas?

You undo all the screws and pull it out :uh-huh:

pull the dash out often when a dash has been wound back they dont get the speedo drive backin enough to engage

if its not that check the sender on teh box

they are two cogs and a cable not alot to em

My speedo stopped on my ceffy a few days after getting it from south *very upset*

the Dash surround has about 5 screws from memory and the cluster its self about 4 screws most of the ceffies from memory have cable not electric speedos. The instrument cluster has 4?? plugs and the speedo connected to it which should just pull out.

I have to send my cable back to where I bought the car and they are getting one sent to me

Thanks for the response adrnln.

So do i need to take the whole dash out or can i get to it from the screws just around the cluster (you know, there is a section surrounding the cluster)?

Yea the whole lot - cluster needs to come out and you'll find you need to tug a bit to get it out.

If you can still see a white plastic bit on the end where the speedo goes into the cluster it sound like the wire inside the speedo line is broken.

The easies what to check is to undo the speedo cable from the box (very easy if you are keen to get a little dirty) it is on the right hand side of the box( looking as you would sitting in it) under neath the car you need to unscrew it and spin the speedo from the gearbox end, if the white end behind the cluster spins it should be ok, if you pull on it and it comes out, a new one will be needed.

I am unsure whether they do inner wires for the Cefiro's as yet but it can't hurt to ask at a spare parts shop. Other wise start searching at importers for a whole new one (well new to Australia)

hope this helps at all and pls correct me if I have missed or wrong anything above but these are just my experiences
