Was driving along on saturday when the needle on my speedo started bouncing around ranging all the way from 0 to where 190 mphwould be now allthough i noticed this as soon as it started happening i didnt have the forsight to think about the speed sensitive power steering and the next corner i came to was rather alarming as the steering kept switching from loose to hard as the speedo jumped around, about 30 seconds later the speedo stoped working alltogether and came to rest back at 0mph. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know what might have caused this / how i can fix it / will it do the car any damage me driving it without the speedo working (the power steering stays loose now)?

I gree. It sounds like a dodgy speedo converter.

 

I do know my DSC v3.1 speedo converter did just this when it fails (faulty component) so if it has a TRL DSC inside then I will replace free of charge. Particularly if you just purchased this Supra from Brian from Cheltenham?

I'm trying to track the 8 I sold which were faulty (I've got about 3/4 outstanding.)

 

If it's not one of mine then why not buy one anyway and sort the problem out.
