Hi,
My Speedo every now and then (more and more recently) stops working after driving for a while and then suddenly starts working again. Also when it isn't working it cuts out sometimes. Has anyone got any ideas or help.

Thanks very much for reading this

sounds like you need a new VSS, the speed sensor that's in the gearbox on the right hand side of the diff.

you can get Valeo ones off ebay for a decent price AFAIK.

Mines does this, but i've never bothered to fix as it only does it occasionally when motorway driving. Let us know if you get it fixed.

Everyone says its easy to do but I have no idea where the VSS lives and the easiest way to get to it. I bought a replacement and know what I'm looking for but a cursory glance left me puzzled if Im best doing it from the wheel arch or taking the battery out or underneath Unsure

Anyone got any pics of where it is on the gearbox?
