Oh I see. Just remove the speedo half and swap onto the other clocks. I take it there's nothing MFA related in that half that could have gone wrong?

only the speed sensor, which you'll be keeping from the new clocks :)

Great, thanks rubjonny. I feel better about it now. Not such a problem if I can keep my mileage.

Before you start stripping and swapping around speedos put the new ones in as is and go for a drive make sure that is definitely your problem first. Been there done that got the tshirt as they said in the 80's!

Hm, I held the oil temp connector to the head when the engine was warm today and still get no reading on the MFA. Very disappointed. :cry:

I went for an anger drive this evening and actually found that the driving time appears to be working. Does this mean the speedo sensor is OK and the problem is elsewhere?

Thanks

Nope mine works as well! I did find that putting it into test mode and nothing on the screen matches up to what it should be, I've bought a new set of clocks from Ebay so will try them when they get here, also got a new MFA stalk to try! I will get it working again!!!!!!!!! (maybe) (I hope)

driving time just means the clock works, its the avg speed & distance travelled that run off the speedo sensor ;)

If the oil temp still dont work when you earth the plug you got a snapped wire somewhere, check my fusebox FAQ :)

My wiring looks like it may have been messed around with in the past, though I have nothing to compare it to. Here's a couple of pics:





Is it normal to have those joint connections on some?

I've shown the green and back wire because that must be the oil temp sensor wire?

Also, you'll notice in the top pic there's a brown wire with a white connector that isn't connected to anything. What is that for?

I've just been looking at your fusebox FAQ guide rubjonny but you say about several brown wires.

Under the fuse box I have a black wire and plastic connector connected to nothing and also a white and blue wire with black connector that isn't connected to anything. Not sure what they are either.

Finally there's a red and black wire that isn't connected to anything and has black tape over it.

I'm sure one of the connectors was for the alarm that was removed but what about the others?
