liams105e Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hi, I've got a manual 300tdi disco. The speedo stopped working the other day, but then half way through my journey it just picked back up and continued fine. It's done this a couple more times now. Any ideas what component is at fault? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Mills Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Check the alternator connections, the speedo is fed from there, it will be corrosion on the tag of one of the smaller spade terminals, or just plain loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, that's rev counter, the speedo is mechanically driven off the transfer box along a flexible drive cable. Cables can fret, or work loose.

finnarne Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Nn the 300tdi I have seen, there is a transducer that are mounted on the transfer box, with 3 pin connector. So the speedo is in fact electrical driven. Check the transducer for wear, I have a couple in my garage (on the floor somewhere) that are half way broken. http://new.lrcat.com/#!/1231/27317/27318/2046 part number AMR1253, replaced it seems by YBE100540 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liams105e Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 Thanks for the advice, i'll start with replacing the transducer, and take it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
