I know this is a common problem, but i was driving along when i realised that my speedo wasnt working but every other dial was. I cant think of how to fix it, ive tried disconnecting the battery overnight but that hasnt worked and ive checked the fuses and i cant find the solution would be grateful for any help please.

lol i think i have the same problem as you are all your dials working i.e rev counter, temp gauge and petrol gauge except for the speedo? When i brought my vts driving down the road and the speedo gauge was going all over the place, got told by the bloke i brought it off someone ripped the speed connecter off just leaving wire ( underneath the air box right at the back of the engine bay litte white connecter ) but anyway ive put a new connecter on it and now the speedo revs with the rev counter so when you rev the car say 4000 rpm your doing 40mph sat there in neutrul lol i have also noticed on the side of the sump tank left side there was a wire hanging down with a metal ring on it not sure where it goes do you think that could solve my speedo problems out?

Any ideas ppl? could the wire thats hanging down on the left of the sump tank be an earth wire?
