Sometimes the speedometer stays on zero mph when we set off and a bang on the dash will make it work again, any ideas!?

I will take a guess at its got a chip on the back to convert it to mph and thats playing up

Mine did that when it was chipped. VERY annoying.

Replaced it with a 626 speedo and no problems since.

where did u get ure 626 speedo catzi?

ours does that some times too we just pull over turn of ignition and then start up again this usually works

Maxheadroom may be able to help, might be worth dropping him a pm.

can u just drop a pm like that even though i,ve never spoke to him before?

Of course you can - just say I sent ya It's what the pm system is about, sending a private message, just means you know the message is getting to the person you want it to

Mine used to do it too, and when it did the hold light flashed. Like you, I just used to turn off the ignition and start up again. Cured it in the end by fitting a 626 speedo that I got off ebay. It was indeed the converter chip giving problems.

Got it off eBay - paid over the odds at about £40 but couldn't be bothered trawling round the scrappie's looking for one!

looks like i'll have to do the same ,contacted maxheadroom as missfixit70(kirsty)said but he hasn't got any at the mo and my days of climbing in&oot motors are over or so i thought?
