Recently had mine chim waxolyed, and my speedo/odo is a bit intermitant! Is this just a coincidence or is there a sensor under the car that has been affected! Dont want to take of the dash if I dont have to!

The speedo use an air gap transender which is on the drivetrain this can need resetting from time to time, re-gapped and cleaned - common thing!

Dan, just checked your profile to see what year yours is, and you haven't even got a car!

If it's an early one the transponder unit is on a brkt on top of the diff nose, The serrated wheel is at the back of the prop. This is all under the silencer/pipes and an absolute nightmare to get to.

Good luck. Let us all know how you get on and if it fixes the prob.

Probably same position to mine (94L) - but not necessarily!

You really need it up on a 4-poster to get anywhere near to seeing it (with a mirror!)

Anyway - let us know please.
