Hi everyone.
I need some help.
My speedo had been erratic over last few months, and now has finally stopped working. And fuel gauge now fluctuates.
I have found on google, that this could be due to many different issues. One being the speedo sensor.
However, as mine is the Caravelle, there is a lot of **** under the bonnet, and is very hard to see the top of the manual gearbox. I have also dropped the engine guard, and tried looking from underneath, also very hard. I can find a sensor that is shrouded in a foil boot, when looking from underneath, this is at the back of the gearbox, over the top of the left cv, (roughly), the cable is inside a rubber tube, that heads up into where the battery compartment is, and is only one cable that is mounted to terminal block of some sort. So, I am thinking this is not it.

Can anyone please upload a photo of where it is on the gearbox. If I know where to look, then it will make things simpler to find I cant find a workshop manual anywhere that show a diagram or photo of it's location.

Also what I did find, which I thought was unusual. An exposed hole at front op of the gearbox, near the position of where the starter motor is. It is a hole of a bout 15 to 20mm in diameter. And when you look into the hole, is a cog drive. looking like a ring gear, but to fine a tooth to be a flywheel I think. What is this, and is it normal for it to be exposed. I can upload a photo of this if needed.

Cheers David.
