Hi
Does anyone have any idea why they might have stopped? My mechanic is looking at it and he tells me that the speedo cable is fine.
Thank you
Adrian

I do not own an F but I understand the cable is in 2 parts, has the mech checked it end to end or just one part?

Hi and welcome to the forum.
It is either the speedo, the cable or the sender...
Early cars had a 2 section cable, later ones had 3 sections.

Almost certainly the speedo cable. Mine is in three parts from memory.

If the cable is genuinely fine, then has it become unscrewed from the back of the speedometer or from the gearbox drive?
