Good morning,

I have a problem with my speedo stopping intermitently, before I start investigating has anyone had the same problem and can point me in the right direction, it stops working if I turn a corner then after a few hundred yards in a straight line will start working again, then stop if I turn a corner again, any help would be much appreciated.

Regards Garry

Check where the speedo cable goes through the grease cap on the centre of the front wheel...it Could be rounded or slipping in the square hole. If its intermittent, its obviously turning sometimes..

Thanks for your advice, I'll check that out, I'm guessing it's connected to the drivers side wheel?

It's on the nearside wheel.

Brilliant, thanks for your help, i'll have a look tonight.

Aye, end of cable at hub may have come adrift or square hole through which it runs has rounded. You can generally close it again by hammering inside of cap a little then filing it square again. Alternatively 8mm e-clip has pinged off.
