Dash board problem ?

[Kamsin]

Ok, got the truck back from the MOT and on the way home the dash controls went nuts. I was doing 30mph according to the clock and the revs went in to the red then to 0 and bounced around, never read over 30mph even though i was doing over 60mph.:doh

Any ideas

Ignition barrel probs :nenau
Electrickery connections in the engine bay, possibly after garage undid something and not replaced properly :augie
Halloween gremlins :lol

there is a little nyloc type sprocket as the speedo cable enters the gearbox ...... or is it the transfer box ... cant remember .... but the teeth on that can get stripped , or quite simply its been played with and isnt in properly

Either you had a bad connection, or you just drove over a cliff.:doh

During the MOT, they red line the engine under no load...:doh so vibration could have caused something to break loose. Or bad connection.

3000 rpm not red line

No they won't, they need to do it for emissions test

3000 rpm not red line

i thought that they revved it until it until the rev limiter kicked in...

My mistake.

The MOT station do a disclaimer regarding this, and they are not responsible if damage is done to the engine.:doh

Maybe there's a petrol regime on newer cars with limiters then. I had our puma in for mot on sat and that's a 1700 zetec, it's has a limiter but still only had to hold rpm at 3000 for various tests :nenau

 

[Kamsin]

Can't say why, but i know the MOT station are not responsible :naughty.
Im guessing its just a bad conection or something, but thought id check.

But on the good side misty got a full MOT :clap

dash clock not working

Hi,
my dash clock has just stopped working, rev counter, speedo, all 4 dials have stopped working.
all pixels shows 88888.
pls help, any ideas, can it be fix or is it a full replacement.

 

[jims-terrano]

Have a search around, im sure theres been a recent post about this. Think it's something about resoldering a line of joints on the speedo cluster. Check the downloads section see if there's anything there too.
