FLASH Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 My 90 has just turned the 100,000 and now the numbers have stuck this does not really bother me but I like to keep an eye on the milage to keep up with servicing does anyone have an idea how to fix the numbers so the mileage works again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantd5 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 The transducer may be the culprit. Wait until uncle Ralph AKA Western comes by or check the Parts Archives for the right part. My transducer was the culprit and now i smile back at my speedo...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 if you prise the rim off the speedo & unbolt the workings from the case, you can clean/lightly lube the numbers barrels, but the outer rim isn't easy to remove, loks tampered with when refitted, might be a good time to swap to the Td5 electronic speedo & have it set to your 90's current mileage to start from. all the info to change speedo is in the 'wibbly wobbly speedo' thread.

Retroanaconda Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 That's if it's a Td5 style electronic speedo. If it's the older mechanical type, then the cable may be the culprit. Check it is intact along it's length and hasn't fallen out. If the cable is good, then the speedo head may have failed internally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLASH Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Thanks for the replys I forget to mention its a very late 200, I can hear something clicking when the vehicle is moving so I figure the head has failed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 my old vauxhall did that, I just beat the dash repeatedly while doing 60mph and it freed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marks 110 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 my old vauxhall did that, I just beat the dash repeatedly while doing 60mph and it freed up A friends 110 200tdi did exactly the same as it passed 200,000 miles. The needle still shows the correct speed of travel but the numbers have stopped revolving. Wondered if it was still legal in this state?
