my speedo is broken...same as hundreds of other folk.
i use my road angel right now but ive got an urge to fix it
through talking to mudslinger ive decided i want to replace my unit for the same thing he has.
spa tacho/speedo gauge

from speaking to mud he says he runs his unit from his ecu.
im trying to figure out as i have no clue...if i buy the unit it comes inclusive of a sensor which will attatch to the wheel hub
will this along with wiring in the gauge make it function or will there be another procedure to make the revs work and so on???
ive mailed the company but its buggin me
:)

thanks chaps

i fecked my speedo up a little, snapped the pick up so the wires damaged but after a wiggle its still going..

either thats shot on yours, the cable to the unit itself if fluffed, or perhaps the dials shafted.. hardly a hard job and spares are more common than pregnant 14 yr olds:)

so any advance on my original question???

ive commited myself to buying a new one so im not even bothering with the oe unit
its getting modded to fit the new one
