Hello!
I wonder if anyone can help please?
As I'm about to re_insure the S and as it has passed it's MOT, It seems I will be keeping it after all! Maybe it's time to sort out a few niggles, the main one being a non operative speedo.
I know the sender has been replaced and all the wiring checks out as it should.
My question is: Does anyone have a working electronic speedo for my S3 that they would be willing to sell?
Thanks in advance, Chris.

Is it like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TVR-SPEEDO-SPEEDOMETER-D...

Are you sure you are getting pulses from the sender? Quite easy to check with an analogue VOM meter.

Thanks for that link.
I phoned Bell Hill Garage before posting on here but they said they did not have one for an S.
I'm sure the sender is working ok and have tested the continuity of the wiring.
I do not have the facility to check the pulse though.
Speedo problems were mentioned in the cars history file, even after a brand new sender had been fitted so I'm assuming that's the problem.
Chris.

Or try speedycables.com, they also do repair and can build new copy speedo's.
Someone on here used them a while ago I think.
