Today, we finally fixed the speedo/odo on my car
we were also able to adjust the brake light switch as well
What we had done as our first fix was to take the plug out in the engine bay and solder directly. we had mistakenly assumed that the shielding should be linked to the bodywork to earth it, however after reading Brinkie's advice that that shouldn't be done, after cutting it off, it burst into life.
took it out for a test drive this evening and all was fine (apart from nearly getting to know a Dear a little too well
)
many thanks to all who have put their two pence into this issue. now the only jobs that need doing are:
repair or source a radio/cassette unit
adjust pop-up positioning
bodywork
new digital clock
fix central locking
