e_ingemann Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 My spedometer started indicating very high speeds, higher than the actual speed, it seems that it gets worse at speeds above 35MPH. Is this a error in the actual spedometer, the cable or do I need to focus my attention to the gearbox? Cheers, Esben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Has to be the speedo, the usual signs of a worn, or dried out cable is a bouncing needle on the speedo. the cable can't possibly rotate faster than the gear which drives it in the gearbox. I cannot see how the gearbox can be at fault either. If it's suddenly reading high, that suggests that the spinning magnets have become closer to the aluminium disk which is attached to the needle spindle. Maybe the bearings are breaking up in the speedo ? Sounds like the speedo needs opening up, to find out what is going on. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
