Speedo and Rev counter repairs...Options?
Discussion
Before we begin, the 100A fuse is fine.
My rev counter has always been fine with constant or slightly progressive revs but a little bouncy when accelerating hard. Not enough to warrant a must fix this urgency but something to do eventually.
When my milometer stopped at 60k miles, I tried reversing, leaving it and a high speed blast before finally trying the thump it method. I thumped it, it stopped working altogether.
As I have now got 2 malfunctioning gauges, I suppose I really should do something about it, but what are my options?
1. Use (not so)Speedy cables for a repair.
2. Remove them and try fix them myself.
3. Replace the whole dash with some LCD futuristic panel.
on point 1, Anyone else with a good reputation for a repair?
On point 2, I might have just dislodged something with the thump? Is there anything in the unit particularly fragile?
On point 3, If such a thing exists, has anyone gone down this route and who did you use?

te, so I'll be pulling the dash apart for a bit tinkering.
The speedo and rev counter was returned - 3 months and just over £200 for them both to be refurbished.
Speedo is still not functioning so I guess it must be the speed sensor.
Before I jack the car up and bend my arm into three articulated joints, can the speedo input at the gauge be checked with a multimeter or is it an oscilloscope job?
