why is everyone using the "up yours" smiley so much lately?

went for a spin yesty.. the speedo isnt moving! the only good thing is im not clocking any k's.. i suspect it'll be a wiring issue as the high beams come on sometimes when i turn the wipers on..(the beams aer on the left with teh blinkers..)

might get the wiring underneath the steering wheel re-done if it doesnt cost a mint.. theres melted wires and all kinds of stuff under there! had to fiddle with it last week cause the headlights werent working

Speedo is mechanical, not electric.

ah ok.. so.... where do i look

ps, i realised tonight (in the rain) that i should plug up those holes up that would usually go in/out of the dash from the engine bay.. feet were getting a lil wet.. lol

yes you should.

we can check your speedo cable if we do ya struts on the weekend.

why does **** keep going wrong... loon, this car really IS cursed!

**gldgti** · 01-03-2007, 05:20 PM

sorry.

you can look on your gearbox there is a cable running seemingly into the top of it on the right hand side of the engine bay (looking into the bay from outside) its retained by a philips head screw which you may remove and carefully withdraw the cable /end assembly. if thats still all there (you'll know if its not) then it might have come off at the speedo end bahind your dash. not sure about how hard it is to get to up there in your car.

if you come around about 9 tomorrow we'll be ready to do those stuts, otherwise im away all weekend.

cheers mate,

its cool, im working all weekend anyways.. might have some time monday after 3?

i cant see anything thats fallen off or unplugged in the bay.. must be in the dash

**Golf Loon** · 04-03-2007, 04:45 PM

Its cursed.

It`ll have come off behind the clocks, I reckon you have reefed the cable from inside the bonnet when you were tinkering with something.

**Rednut** · 05-03-2007, 08:22 PM

i choose not to believe the curse! consider me a witchdoctor!

ayden, came over twice to visit today but i guess you were at oonie.. ah well.
might be goin a pair of those tires for the rear reeeeally soon.. i loose traction so easily in the wet.. even taking off(not like a "loon")..

matt, how do i get behind the dash without taking the whole thing off? (possible?)

not sure what to plug the holes up with either(where the tooobs went in and out to/from the heater)
