Hi Billy
I was in the same boat - i got a manual on eebuygum too! It does work, but it took a bit of faffing about to get to work Confused

While I was trying to get it to load, I got one of the manuals from the ITOC shop. It's covered just about everything I've needed so far (exept the engine(3.1 TD)). I'd recommend getting one of these! Very Happy

Hope this helps, Colin.

hi there fortunatly for me dont have that problem, but it is possible that you might have a dry solder joint on instrument cluster. not easy to tell though, just a thought or maybe you've got a chafed wire with a small split in the wiring. hope this might help.sods law not GOOD LUCK with getting it sorted nathan... Very Happy

cheers everyone,,
guessed it was electrical, sender is at rear of gearbox on manual cars, so will get it up on a ramp to have a look, not often the speedo head with jap cars as are normally reliable..
only bought the troop 4 weeks ago and was v/cheap so expect some minor problems. doesn't bother me as have rev counter but if other 1/2 uses it she likes to know speeds.
cheers billy
