Hi All
As you are all aware I am from Bris. My car is/was fitted with a speedo in very good condition, my problam is it has siezed and the cable will not turn. So where is a good place in Bris to send it for a service/overhaul. I have had a little play with it but however it will not move.
Or do we have a resident guru who can have a look and maybe fix it for me.

I'm on the goldcoast.
Is the speedo seized or is the cable binding.
As in did you just remove the cable end from the gearbox and try turning it. Did you remove the speedo from the dash. ETC ETC ETC.
Mate, I'm not an instrument engineer but I have successfully repaired many instruments and gauges.
I'll have a look at it for you if you want.

I have 2 speedos that haven't been used for over 25 years. They were working then but now both are seized. Do you know how yours was repaired.

Hi Mal
My speedo was siezed due to many years of sitting in the car in a shed. The grease and dust had time to dry out.
All we did was pull it apart and soaked the siezed part in some coke for about 1/2 an hour then used WD40 a drill and a piece of cable. We first worked it by hand till it was moving freely, then came the drill and prenty of WD40 to flush out the crud.
Hope this helps.

Hi Jim
One speedo was removed from a car that I wrecked 30
years ago. The other has been in my car which hasn,t been driven for 25 years. Both speedos were operating then.
Thanks for your advice
