outatime Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Hmmmmm... I was doing a steady 80 on the motorway, slowed down to turn off and the speedo stuck at 75 for about 3 miles. It came alive again until I accelerated after a P1 (bloody fast BTW) onto a dual carriageway. The needle stuck at about 40 for a few miles before moving properly again. Ive had no problems with the speedometer since I got the car last May although I suspect its a dodgy KPH/MPH conversion or the needle is sticking somehow. The dial is reads up to 115mph and the odometer is still in KPH... Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 I made my OWN needle stick after I stuck a Home-Made face on the Speedo...... I hadn't stuck the print onto the plastic card strongly enough, it started lifting and 'dragging' the needle.... had to completely remove/refit it, been OK ever since. Could be similar...... could be 'slightly' bent needle.... ? ? FatS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOR Racing Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I suspect its a dodgy KPH/MPH conversion If it's intermittent or the needle sticks at different points then I suspect the converter. If it sticks at exactly the same points no matter if you accelerate slowly or fast then I suspect the needle. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
