Urgent help needed - Mrdashbo - 27 Jan 2011

I'm getting ready to go pick my mate up from Manchester airport
In the morning he's flying in from New York and I'm picking him
Up in the Delorean. On my way to get fuel I noticed I went over a bump and my speedo
Died on me. Is this a loose wire I can fix or something more complicated?

Any help would be much appreciated

Mike

The speedo is driven via an angle drive from the front wheel, through two cables and a counter box. Unfortunatly the weak link is the angle drive. Best way is to take the front wheel off and see whats going on. Sometimes it's just the plastic part that covers the end of the hub that fails.

if you do need an angle drive, I've only got 2 left in stock.
