Hi All
Over the past year I have posted a number of threads on a number of forums re a wobbly/flicking speedo, during which time I have had the car into a couple of garages.
Yesterday the problem was fixed!
The problem had been caused by the wiring harness chafing at a point under the manifold near to the thermo housing and causing the cable to earth and thus causing the flicking speedo.
The cable has been repaired and re routed and now I have a true speed reading.
I hope my description is clear enough for people to understand (I am no mechanic!)
So many thanks to the guys at SIGNATURE in Preston. It took them a morning to find, they supplied a courtesy car and the bill came to £40.
Having read and heard of cables and wires chafing, I wonder if it would be worth while starting a thread on known chafing weak spots (let's keep the replies sensible please!)
Hope this helps any other sufferers.
