ROGUE TROOPER Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Obviously the Speedo is not MOTable as mine hasn't worked on COW for some time......... so I took it apart and its the cable to G/Box......what a mess, its chewed up the input, snaped it off and caught some of the outer cable also. 2 bluddy hours it took to get it out! New one on order Then again ints a 2.5 Diesel, why would I need a speedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Speedo working is an MOT requirement - they just can't test it Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS26 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Speedo working is an MOT requirement - they just can't test it Les. On non-permanent 4x4 (ones where they can use the rolling road) they can (and IMHO do) check that it works - but not accuracy. Also, on my RRC the tester would take it out for a drive to "check the brakes & speedo" (since he couldn't put it on a single-axle rolling road)... I had a look on the web for the official test regs, but can't find it - so who knows the definitive answer? Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 mmm My 90 went through 6 MOT's with the speedo not connected. Every year the Test inspector would roll his eye's as it showed no millage change from year to year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the new computerised MoTs will kick up a fuss about that once you are on your second one. Not so bad first time round, but it's a lot easier for the system to throw a fail at you! Just a guess at the moment, but I think that's the way it'll work.........unfortunately!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
