mr_mcp Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Hi, on this fine cold snowy morning I decided to fit my new speedo cable. The old one came off fine and I fitted the new one into the transfer box without any issues, only to find out the damn thing is too tight to fit onto the speedo dial. My old one slotted on fine and clicked into place but the new one seems far too snug and wont go all the way. Before I spend more time getting frustrated and tearing my hands up, are they all the same size or have paddocks sent me the wrong one?! Part no. PRC6022 (for a 300Tdi) Thanks in advance!

LandyManLuke Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Can you compare old and new side by side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_mcp Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 I managed to get it on with a load of lube and a pair of mole grips in the end. Just looked at the manufacturer on the packet - britpart! What a surprise!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litch Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 My Britpart one went on fine. Might have been the cold making the tabs a bit stiff to slip over the lip or it might have been squashed slightly oval in storage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
