Changing Speedo Cable on GT LE
Quote from TonyErwood on 31st July 2016, 1:20 pmCan anyone help please?
My speedo has stopped working :(. I assume it is the cable so I have bought a new cable (inner and outer). However, I really would appreciate advice about replacing the cable. I can't see how to get to the back of the speedo and the other end of the cable is sensibly (not) located just above a cross member.
Many thanks in advance,
Tony Erwood.

I hope to get the car over a pit later this week so I can investigate the overdrive end.
It looks as though I have to partially pull the dash out to get at the speedo end - not a quick job !Sorry I somehow got this into the wrong forum, not sure how I managed that 😮
