WANTED Electronic Speedo

Post by Old-Guy » Mon Aug 11, 2025 10:45 am

150mph version for my 1999 Exclusive. It's not possible to change the card as it's firmly glued to the 'perspex' behind.

The electro-mechanical drive for the needle and odometers has an intermittent fault and there's no way to disassemble it at all. How do I know that's where the fault is? Because cruise control always works, so the speedo-head electronics and the transducer are both doing their stuff generating a signal, it's the little motor in the drive playing up - I can see what looks like a dirty connection through a transparent moulding, but the entire plastic assembly of the speedo-head is solvent-welded together...
