Speedo gets it's signal through a 3 core grey coated wire that runs from the 'box (between starter motor and long driveshaft) with sensor held in by a metal clip and bolt, up the back of the engine bay to a 3 pin connector plug, then through the bottom of the bulkhead panel through to the battery compartment, then through into behind the dash then connects directly into the back of the speedo clock with a black plastic plug.

1. Check the 3 pin connector in the bay for a good connection.
2. Check the cable from the connector to the probe hasnt been melted through by the exhaust.
3. Check the probe is in place still.
4. Remove the clocks and check the plug is making a good connection.
5. Try a new set of clocks borrowed from someone.
6. Buy a new/GWO cable and fit it.
