Bits falling off!

[Paul V]

I was out in the car last night, I hit a large pot hole at only about 10mph coming out of a car park, the Speedo started to read over a lot and when stopped was reading 20mph a bit further down the road the needle fell off completely. Then the accelerator began to feel light and has much more movement than usual. I presume this could be a cable so will maybe change it just to be on the safe side. Is it possible to strip down the Speedo, or will the bits fly everywhere?

Thanks, I’ll replace it soon, does it take long? I’ve got to fit the engine back into my mini at the weekend, better rush it needs all the solid suspension mounts fitting and a mot and tax, and then running in all before 1st may, start of the show season. I spoke to Speedy Cables they want approx £35 to fix the Speedo.
