Just got back van from garage MOT , just needed ball joint repair cheapest one ever.....however the "bar-steward" has broke my speedo cable odometer never worked but thats fine, it must be near ball joint i guess, anyways they said they would fix begrudgingly, but say the cannot order part as no longer made etc,.
any ideas where to get one???

Hi, yep speedo is driven off nearside front hub, hence the ham-"interfered with" one has damaged it, by the sound of things! I thought VW still kept them,may be wrong but they should be able to get one easy enough in the trade, German & Swedish, Euro car parts etc. Sounds like bull***t to me.

Eh?
check they havent just managed to pull the cable out there should be a clip on the end of the cable where it passes through the grease cap on the hub..

I am sure JK or GSF still do speedo cables...

JK certainly do them but there are 2 different types depending on the fitting at the speedo end. One clips on, the other has a knurled knob. Check what type ypu need before ordering.

Almost forgot - its been said above but mine had just pulled out of the hub as the circlip was missing.

thanks for info guys , JK are sending one over old one has defo gone..
