speedo cable

Unread post by Jacky »

My speed dial in my car is going ape!! I assumed that the cable had snapped but have been told that the guage is actually electrical. Does anybody know anything about this? Do I just need to take it to my usual garage to deal with or do I need a specialist? And does anyone have any idea as to the costs? I dont drive fast (much) so if its mega mega dear, I might leave it alone.

Thanks for your help in advance.

As it's in the Renault section we could assume it might be a Renault, but please can you tell us which model and year it is !

Also when it goes "ape" what does it do exactly?

Drive you bananas ? (sorry couldn't resist the pun)
