Have you checked that the connectors are all clean and joining properly with no scorch marks?

I do think that the lack of planned layout behind could lead to some accidental shorting if something comes loose.

Speedo is normally the sensor on the diff output flange!



Love that word;-)

New issues you need to look for what ever you have dislodged but I doubt that the speedo not working is common to the newer issues.

I had the speedo sensor changed to a steve heath one about 4yrs ago but have lost instructions.
I agree the symptoms have nothing to do with the speedo, something I've done :-(
Thanks for input

That's odd. I can't see how you could have stopped the oil/water gauge working.

It is not electronic.

If the oil pressure has stopped working perhaps you kinked the oil feed pipe.

Where has the SPA taken its 12v feed from. Might be time to get the multi meter out and start tracing back wires.
