First issue already, lol.......

... had this in my Grif too, and ended up having to replace the speedo.

Speedo just sometimes doesnt move, then clicks back into life all of a sudden. Was fine on way home, 2hrs use, and fine until I took the car out this afternoon. Anything obvious to look for?


Thanks

Speedo transducer (mine did the same and was fine when replaced).

You could just drive it more, maybe it's just complaining because it hasn't been used for a while.

Glad to here you finally got one!

Cheers Deejay. Where do I grab one of those from and how do I replace.

Yeah its been a saga huh. But its a fantastic looking beast. Want to keep going out to the garage and taking a look lol.

Will be out and about this w/end in it for sure.

Will get some photos on profile asap.

There is also the sensor that is located by the diff and reads from a toothed wheel. This needs to be close to the toothed wheel (but not touching!) for the speedo to work. Somethimes it just needs a little adjusting

Hmm, reckon I'll just get it done at a dealer/specialist. Needs a service within the month too, so they can sort that.

you often get excess movement in the diff output shaft, the extra movement causes the toothed wheel to eat through the end of the sensor. replacing the sensor sorts it for a short time until it happens again. there's a fix though

[vinny73]

If I knew how/where to find that toothed wheel, near the dif, I'd take a look, but I dont have ramps eihter ;-)
