Hi mates,

half an hour ago my speedometer quit working. It seems that the cable has snapped.

Does it connect to the gearbox?

Has anyone an idea where i can get one? I have a -84 280i left hand drive, which might be important.

tia!

Yes it goes into the side of the gearbox. Unfortunately it's a bit of a TVR special. It may be easier to get your old one repaired - Speedy Cables here in the UK can repair or make a new one if you send them the old one.

Yup it connects to the box. i got a replacement from speedycables. Send them the broken one (with both ends) and theyll copy it.
I understand the TVR fitting is different at the speedo end which makes getting one of the shelf a bit difficult.
