1. The Speedo has stopped working. (it is a Phase 2 with the sensor on the gearbox)I have unplugged the wiring and the sensor but it is difficult to tell if thats the problem. I put a multimeter across each of the 3 prongs and got no connectivey between them. Should any be connected to each other or does it need the spindle turning to receive a pulse?

2. The Winscreen and lights washers have stopped working. The back works fine, pump works, relay clicks etc, but not a sound for the fronts. The wipers dont come on when i pull the stalk for the washers either. (though the wipers work fine manually) Could this be a problem with the switch in the stalk, or are the front and back washers seperate?

any help would be great

think ive got to the bottom of them myself.

There is a white piece of plastic that the speedo sesor locates in which has snapped, and the connecter coming from the wipe/wash stock was hanging off. thanks again to those frenchmen car builders!
