Also in Canada with the same experience. I have sent Paddock several emails and used their contact us page through their web site to inquire about their SuperPro bushing kits, but have had absolutely no replies. Really? In this day and age they can't reply with a few taps at the keyboard? Brett

I've tried twisting and I've tried pulling with no luck either way. Dumb thing is plastic so worried about breaking it. I have a new speedo on the way so have been sort of waiting to see if it yields any clues. Brett

Does anyone know how to remove the trip reset cable on a Series 3 speedo. I put this one one about 15 years ago but damned if I can remember how it's attached. Don't want to bust it. Brett

OK, this makes sense too. With my 110 not originally being a 300Tdi though, I could not find a small bracket on the chassis so I bolted the hose clip to the chassis where the inner wing attaches. This actually works well as it helps to hold the air hose off the brake line junction/valve thingy (LHD truck) which is mounted right there on the bulkhead. Brett

Yes, 300Tdi. 110 is an Ex-Mod so originally had the 2.5NA. I upgraded a few years ago. It didn't have the proper wing with the air inlet so the hose has been tied up in the engine bay all this time. All sorted now with the proper bits, just a bit confused about that bracket. Think I have that licked now too but it has decided to start pouring rain so will have to finish up later. Thank you all for the help. Brett

Thanks guys. My 110 was not originally a Tdi, so wasn't sure on the set up. I don't see how the bracket could naturally be mounted to the inner wing on mine to orientate it to support the hose. Must be a mounting tab or something I am missing. Easy enough to make something up Brett

Got the rest of the bits figured out but can anyone tell me just exactly where this bracket is supposed to mount? I'm thinking on the side of the bulkhead toe box facing forward to support the elbow? Thanks Brett

Well, not having much luck. Thing does not want to budge. Have the brake back plate off now so a lot more room but no joy. Even the wood chisel is not doing the trick. Will have another crack at it tomorrow. Brett Update... OK, I couldn't leave it alone. I went another round with it using the chisel, then used the wire wheel to clean it up a bit, then for the hell of it, grabbed it with a pair of vise grips, just to see. Well, didn't I see the little bugger move a little bit. Bit more wiggling up and down and the pinion finally slid out. I was surprised to see the little gear was yellow, but then this gearbox did come out of a 90. I will order the blue one as is fitting for the 110 where the gearbox now resides.

Just wondering if heat would be an option here? Not talking red hot, just enough to maybe help things break free a bit. This bugger is being stubborn. Brett

Yes Mo, you may be right. Been soaking it, tapping away at it, hitting it and swearing at it, all to no avail. Tough spot to try to get at that's for sure. Thanks for the suggestion. Brett

Thank you gentlemen. That is a big help and just the info I was looking for. Brett

Hi guys. The speedo cable on my 110 has siezed up and the bit the square end of the cable goes into has broken. Did some searching on the forum and I see that I have to pry the pinion out of the transfer box and I assume replace the drive gear. Can't find any pictures of the parts in any of my manuals so I'm just trying to make sure that the broken bit is part of the drive gear and that is what I need to replace. I hope this thing doesn't give me too much grief trying to remove it. Have started soaking it with penitrating oil. Thanks Brett

Well, I guess the rubber was kind of old and a bit hard. A bit of heat from a heat gun softened things up a bit and they popped out easy enough. Brett

Question about a Series 3 brake servo non-return valve. I've just swapped my leaking servo for a good one and I need to swap over the non-return valves. These appear to just be a push in fit, but how the heck do you get them out. I have tried a pair of screwdrivers for prying but the valve doesn't want to come out and I don't want to force it in case there is a better or easier way. Anyone have any advice how to get them out? Thanks Brett
