Any advice on the above please? Assume cable broken?


Thanks.

More than likely the gear has broken! To check it undo the screw where the cable goes into the gearbox and gently remove, they are still available from the dealers, yours should be red.

is the speedo still working? if it is, then surely it can't be the speedo drive from the box. wasn't there an article in the faq section about how to repair speedos where the mileage count doesn't change?

If the speedo is working and it's just the miles not working then you need to follow this.
