search button is my ememy... i am the lazy man of the forum anyone want to lend a hand

has anyone got one of these fitted? would love to see pics..

yeah something like plumbers grease would be better but this worked ok for the bit that goes into the back of the dials...

problem solved took dash/dials off. pushed speedo drive cable from engine bay into car. lubed up the drive, clipped back onto dials. screwed back in and pulled cable tight from engine bay. no more clicking/ticking.

just wondering would a bit of good old vaseline do the trick as im out of grease and aint going down my dads for a while and its doing my head in

wow sounds like a decent result there mate well done

my partner says the needle does judder lol...strange i never noticed this could well be a simple fix or it could be something really difficult to sort out

let us know shaun and ill post up any developments. frank could it be that when i changed the gear box oil and took the speedo cable out it hasnt gone back properly? surely that would mean the fault is at the other end not behind the dash in that case i wouldnt hear it.

i thought it would be a connection problem as mine was making the exact same noise like it was short circuiting. not sure about changing side lights etc alot of people use blue for brightness etc but i think its technically illegal.

lol how annoying. ill have a proper look tomorrow. when you say you push the speedo cable through how do you do that you cant get at it from the back of the dash if that makes sense :S if thats whay you mean

urghh this problems so annoying! so it could possibly be the speed drive (that white stalk) isnt fully inserted? does it go in a particular way or anything or does it just slot it and clip? as im sure thats what mine did. also i recently topped up gear box oil through the speed drive cable...

no im pretty sure its not that because unless its just by chance that it happened twice after i removed the dials to put my leds in lol. its like a faint ticking or clicking when i reach about 20-30 and gets faster til i hit around 45-50 when it goes silent again...so irritating considering...

this thread has really got me thinking. let us know of any repairs and the out come of the MOT when they are done. i recently changed cv joint but it WAS knocking on full lock and now runs sweet and dandy. originally just the gaitor was replaced before and eventually it started knocking so...

ok this happened with my old vibe and now my lx. ever since changing the dash leds i hear slight ticking when i hit around 30 which gets faster the faster i go but slows when i hit 45-50. any ideas? realllyyyy irritating although its faint makes the car look/seem/feel like an old banger...

lol ive always been tempted to fiddle with my car that late but had fear some one will call the police and i would have some explaining to do plus look a bit silly lol

"we iz gonna hire de A-team" as ali g would say

no need to get personal jerry..

hmm not to bothered as i have heard alot of good things about castrol but just wanted to know if the gtx is just as good as the magnetic :S ?

ok cool is the gtx just as good as the magnetic?

ok cool i know people here like the castrol magnetic 10w40...sadly its not on sale atm at tesco (for the 4 litre bottles) although i have found £20 for 4 litres on eurocarparts. is the castrol magnetic 5w40 any good as thats on offer atm at tesco quite cheap (for a 4 litre any way!) what...
