New speedo cable?

[Mart8V]

Is the speedo still working properly?  It could be that the plastic tab which holds the collar on to the mount is worn, and the cable is coming off at the back. You will need to get the front part of the dash off and get the clocks out to have a look.  Haynes manual tells you how, or plenty of folks here will have done it, a lot.

Don't worry!  Not a berm.....  Kato!

yer def the speedo cable nothing else moves in there but its a F**cker to change, unless you got a clock instead of rev counter but i doubt thats goner tick louder the faster you go.

i have the same problem it looked like a nightmare to mess about with so i abandoned the idea and bought bigger speakers

try pushing the cable in from the engine bay. might even click itself back in place
