Speedo Out

Post by furkick »

Hi first time driver here no clue at all about anything :shock: anyway, i just brought an N reg 1.2 8v Corsa Montana, Im guessing this model has a cable speedo not electric, well here is the problem i know it starts at 10 MPH, but i know im doing 30 MPH but my speedo is reading 40 MPH, standard wheels not alloys. Any ideas??

Thanks Chris

check the connection at the back of the dash and where it connects to the gear box. (next to the gear linkage, best to put it in reverse to access it) if that doesnt help try some clocks from a scrappy and see if they work.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

Nah it's easy mate,

- Grab a screwdriver
- Undo the three screws along the lower part of the steering wheel shroud, pull it off
- Undo the two screws either side of the horn
- Undo the the three screws along the clocks surround, two either side and one in the middle
- You should now be able to pull off the upper shroud along with the clocks surround
- Clocks should now pull out, if not - slightly undo the cable connection at the gearbox and try again.

Hope I didn't miss anything 8)
