No Speedo!!!!!!
Got a problem with the truck fella's, heres the sequence of events!!
Friday lunch time, nipped down the road, fuel gauge showing REAL low, O/D OFF light started flashing on and off slowly!
Flicked the O/D button in out a few times, no change!
Presumed the light doubled as a fuel low warning.
Chucked £20 of derv in
Drove back to job, about half a mile, O/D Off light still flashing but seems less and random!
Driving home from work fri night (again about half mile) noticed light still flashing randomly and speedo not moving!!
Rev counter working, all needles moving except speedo (and trip gauge )
Where should i start looking????
Is the O/D OFF light anything to do with low fuel or coincidence??
All help gratefully received
Happy New Year folks!!

Re: No Speedo!!!!!!
Al,
As far as I am aware there isn't a link between low fuel and the O/D, however I think the O/D issue could well be linked with the speedo and trip.
I believe you can use the flashes from the O/D light to diagnose issues with the autobox (like the Engine Management system)
Good luck and Happy New Year

Re: No Speedo!!!!!!
Your remedy is in this thread. Both Paul and I have suffered the same recently. Speedo out of the cluster, a couple of caps and a general board clean up should sort it.
Can I ask a question please.....(Speedo woes)
If you're not comfortable with doing the repair yourself, you're welcome to send the speedo unit here and I'll sort it for you.

Re: No Speedo!!!!!!
Had to nip to Gatwick last night, on the way back i found out my cruise control is not working.
Is there anything linking the two or is this pure coincidence????

Re: No Speedo!!!!!!
Al, I would say yes, if there is no signal for the speedo then what can the cruise lock into ?

Re: No Speedo!!!!!!
Take your time and don't get flustered and force anything particularly bits made of plastic that are cold.....
cus it will break and then you get more annoyed and a bit more breaks etc etc etc.......
And make sure you got clean mits when fitting dials as sweaty fingers mark dial faces.....
slowly slowly catchey monkey.....................
