Intermittent fault, speedo and mileometer

In my 1998 GLX TD the speedo needle (and mile counter) drops to zero, flickers to and fro, doesn't work for a mile or three then registers normally. This can be at the start of a journey or after some miles, and the problem sometimes reoccurs during the trip i.e. there is no discernible pattern. Nothing else is affected. Where do I start please?

Hi & welcome aboard.

I think this one's been covered many times - have you tried searching speedo faults or similar?

Short answer: There are three possible faults, either the speed sensor on the gearbox, the speed sensor control box (D8) or BSI (D9) or the gauge cluster itself.

Try the sensor first, its located just above where the o/s drive shaft goes into the diff. Held in with one bolt + a connector.

Did you find the cause of your problem ? My 2000 V6 suffers exactly the same symptoms
