More aggro from this, I had speed sensor replaced, still not working, however I failed to notice that the needle is pointing downwards, ie past the stop,is this unit duff or as something else toasted it.Also can it affect 1st to 2nd gearchange.

Try doing an instrument reset..... Hold the trip button in until the instruments go into test /diagnostic mode.... then switch off and after a couple of seconds restart... needles should flick over to Max and then return to normal....

There is one last thing you can try before fitting a new dash board and that is do a HARD reset.. Dsiconect the battery for 1/2 hour or so and then reconect.. that might cure al but it does sound doubtful..... I knwo some people on here have removed the perspex fromnt of the dash and done a speedo reset that way... but I do not from personal experience know how difficult that is......
The speedo is all part of the dash and the whole lot has to be replaced unlike the old grannies....

I have found out that the reason needle was in wrong position is that panel had been inverted at sometime in its life, dont know how, anyway I removed it and "tipped" the needle in right position and Bingo, speedo working again.
