Are you sure the speedo is the problem? It's usually a snapped drive cable - Speedy Cables can fix or supply new.

Apparently they are now called..."Not-so-speedy cables"...

Just figured it will be a easier and probably cheaper fix.

Not used one, but considering it (not for my TVR) so please let us know if you do go down this route, as my spedo is inaccurate after changing the rear diff ratio.

A friend has a GPS speed sender on a motorbike. One thing to consider is the time it takes to acquire the satellites, and hence no speed reading on start-up. His has a permanent live that keeps tracking satellites even when the car is switched off (it has a very low power drain) sounds like a good idea (except if the car is a garage!).

I have been using a GPS heads up display that plug's into the cigarette lighter socket and that takes a matter of seconds to start working it only gets power when the ignition is on.
