Title: dodgy speedo cable Post by: FEHOLDEN on June 02, 2005, 10:44:59 AM gidday all
ii have just replaced the speedo cable in the HT with a second hand one from a HG auto[same cable afaik] and now the speedo needle "whips" back and forth whilst driving along. the odometer also under reads the distance travelled by quite a bit. i'm not sure what i have done wrong or maybe havnt done but should have. Hopefully some one can help before mr.plod stops me and tells me how fast i am really going :-[ denis Title: Re: dodgy speedo cable Post by: mcl1959 on June 02, 2005, 10:55:47 AM Sounds like your speedo head is seizing up which is maybe why the 1st one broke.
Eventually the second cable will break as well unless you fix it. Ken Title: Re: dodgy speedo cable Post by: graham_fuller on June 02, 2005, 11:33:30 PM Ken is exactly right those are the symptoms from when my FE cable broke about 25 years ago.

is this a simple fix or would it be easier to replace the whole speedo? denis Title: Re: dodgy speedo cable Post by: mcl1959 on June 03, 2005, 07:58:14 AM replace the speedo
