Went for a cruise yesterday with friends. When I was about 50 miles from home my speedometer started screaming at me and the odometer started flaking out. Eventually the needle fell off. North Hollywood Speedometer quoted 225 to repair assuming nothing crazy happened inside. Is this something I can tackle myself or is it one to pay a professional to do? Are there other options besides North Hollywood I should consider? Thanks in advance for your input.

Could be stripped gears in the gauge or cable gone,NHS are charging you for a cosmetic overhaul,if you are DIY buy a good used speedo and reclock it to the mileage you have on your old one,if not get them to do that job. The reset isn't that hard but opening the gauge is a little more challenging but you can clean the face and glass and repaint the bezel @ the same time. However I would check your cable before doing any of the above,disconnect @ both ends and see if it turns front and rear. Good luck. |
