Anybody got a functioning speedo for sale? Speedy Cables (misnomer of the year!) have advised, having had my speedo for the last 6 months, that they don't repair the odometers anymore but put an lcd one in. Unfortunately they want to have a go ahead on this without advising the cost! furiousbanghead
Other suggestions also gratefully received.
Thanks
Jeremy

I've a speedo of unknown state you're welcome to try/have that I picked up when I had my S3. It has 315.9 miles on the odo - so that might indicate a stuck odo. PM me if you'd like it - I'm in Norfolk (near Hethel) as well.

I had one made and they are very nice - although mine was all new the only bit they re used from the old one was the needle to match the tacho.

They also have a trip meter so start thinking about where you are going to put the button if they supply the same as I had.
I put mine in the bottom of the steering housing lower down under the wiper stalk .

They haven't said anything about a tripmeter so thanks for the heads-up

Update for you: ********,******,*****,******** Speedy Cables still haven't returned my speedo. cursebangheadcry
Spoke to Mat Smith earlier who says he will chase them again for the umpteenth time; I have asked him to advise Speedy evil that unless they get their fingers out of their arse (or wherever else they store them), I will report them to CID for theft & get them shut down whilst the latter investigate and then sue the crap out of them. Harsh I know but nearly 7 months is taking the Peas a bit IMHO. furious
So, for anybody looking to send anything to Speedy, my advice would be to get a quote with return date IN WRITING before committing yourself.ranting
Rant over- off to lie down in a dark place to try & get blood pressure back down.

Hi Dave- apologies for delay: thanks for the number which I passed onto Mat Smith; he says he's know him for years.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Blimey, (being polite), why so long? I was reading yesterday about a full body off chassis refurb etc that has taken a lot less time.
Truly Amazing.....(again being polite)....

It would appear that "speedy" means in the region of 6 months .

Once the actually start it's only a couple of days... The q of speedos requiring work / supply is crazy. As I said once they called with it on the bench it was then done next day.. That call just took 5 months to come when they had mine.

They shoul get more staff.
