Hi,

I've been having intermittent problems with my speedo. It's been working about 80% of the time but it does stops and sticks on 0 mph either at start or while I'm driving. It could be very coincidental but it will usually but not always work again when I switch on some of the electronics such as the heater or the wiper. I’ve tried cleaning all connector I could find including the connector to the speedo but it still happens. Very confusing but I suspect a sensor or earth problem.

Can any tell me where on the Rover SD1 gearbox is the speed sensor for the speedo? How do I get access to it? Is the earth for the sensor on the centre channel under the door handle or at the front of the car near the radiator? Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks Harry,

Can I get access to it from under the car? Will take a look later this week as I have access to 4 point lift at a local garage.
