Animal Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Right, the garage has just rang. They reckon it's the delimiter that's packed in. They've pulled that out and reckon the speedo is working (albeit in KM's). Not quite sure I believe them, but it looks like I'll be wanting a new delimiter.

stevie_b Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I refer the Rt Hon member to post #10, point 2. Possible, but only if they had the dash apart (or via a strange conicidence). Do you usually have a speedo that reads in mph? I'm just wondering if you really mean "delimiter" and not "speed convert/delimiter". A malfunction in the second will cause the speedo to not work. A malfunction in the first won't affect the speedo as it sits downstream of the speedo, beside the ECU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Sorry, yes, i was being ambiguous; it's a converter/delimiter (Thor I think?, can't remember 'till I pick it up tonight). They shouldn't have been anywhere near the dash as it was just in for the exhaust blowing. Looks like it's just one of them things, then. They've had the battery disconnected, is it possible to have had a spike when reconnecting it that could pop the unit? Either way, just bad luck/timing I guess.

stevie_b Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 The electrical spike you mention is a plausible explanation. The converters are small electronics units and it wouldn't surprise me if a spark when re-connecting the battery could take one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
