speedo stopped working

[lone granger]

speedo still zeroes with ignition, however on way back from MOT to laying up over winter noticed speedo not reading.

If it zeroes but doesnt read can this be only axle sensor or could it be break in sensing wire (had a few mice in to play over winter!) - if sensor - approx cost?

Its a precat?
Sometimes, when mine has stood for a while the speedo can be a bit iffy, usually clears up after some miles and heat through the box....

If not,and it has the transducer in the gearbox then you are looking at about £80.
But there are two types, 4 pulse and 8 pulse....

cheers - only drove 5 miles with it showing not a flicker - perhaps as you say a few miles might kick it back into action (thought they were solid state though, so not sure why..!)
