It's a problem with the speedo sensor input - Al's link will tell you the official term.

It's caused by a number of things:

- going to slowly.
- dirty speed sensor / transducer
- broken speed sensor / transducer

Currently, mines broken. However I have found that having no speedo makes me a much safer driver, as strangely, I look at the road all the time!

I would just like to add that at least one code comes on every journey,is this common as I just tend to over-ride it and carry on.If it is a problem then I've had it because after about 5 or 6 journeys they've nearly all come on at least once.

Thanks as usual G9eg.

Ah...code L. Mine displayed this every trip. The analogue speedo also indicated 5 mph different to the digital readout.

I read with interest the comments regarding code L relating to the speedo, I get a selection of other codes not in the handbook - what are they for??

Had similar issues myself, first sensor kept blowing the main fuse, this was subsequently replaced, then that one gave up. The car was remarkably doing 0 -200 miles an hour even without the engine running! This happenend at the same time as the ECU failing! Back with Peninsula now for a full check up!
