speedo

Post by andrew1608 »

I ham going to be getting my second rapier this week, however the speedo appears to be loose as the needle keeps jumping, does the needle just screw into the back of the speedo.

Hi Andrew
The usual fault is either a dry joint on the speedo pcb or the speedo control module which lives behind the glove box.
Have a search, there are loads of posts on this.

Idd, ended up removing and dismantling my dash completely and re-soldering all the joints. Now the clocks work perfecto. No more guess-work when negotiating speed cameras :)
