speedo/rev counter problem
« on: 19 January 2008, 15:33:57 »
A mate of mine at the pub (been trying to get him on here but he hates computers!) has got an S reg Omega 2.0 CDX Estate and his rev counter and speedo have stopped working. Any ideas as to what the fault could be?

Also remember te electrical connections to the pick up sensors on the rear drive shafts, either side of the diff.  They are the ones beside the gear tooth thingy on the shafts...
