Speedo not working

Post by rob1927 »

Hello could anyone kindly advise on the following?

Speedo not working, cable ok at the speedo end, as in connected properly, but can't find where the cable should connect to the gearbox. Can any one tell me where it connects into the gearbox?

Cheers.

If you look in the centre of the wheel cap, you'll see a small square hole out of which should be sticking the square end of speedo cable, held by an 8mm e-clip.
