    Yeah it's an ace resource. Touch wood I've had very few and very minor issues with my car; all of which got answered on here

    Cheers man! It's just a shame I'm getting these small niggles sorted out for selling. At least someone will get a nice working motor when she's all ready.

    Not so chuffed at being able to see my MPG again though, forgot how gutsy the old girl is!

    Cheers.

    The other capacitor measured in around 56uF which I'm happy enough with because my multimeter leads are on the way out.

    Will be chuffed if the speedo comes back to life for a £2 capacitor

    That cap is correct, it’s an electrolytic so needs to go in the right way round, the neg side looks like it’s marked on the original.

    After getting a lend of a friend's cluster, I found that everything worked as normal - so the signal from the diff was sound and the fault lay somewhere in my cluster.

    I have (I think) traced the fault to one of the capacitors on the speedometer circuit board. It is labled as:

    Philips 036 KO B8
    180u
    K
    10V

    Could someone kindly advise as to where I can find the same; or applicable; capacitor to replace this one?

    I've provisionally purchased this one:

    https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/PANASONIC-E...QAAOxy8HlSa77m

    And for anyone looking for a guide to disassemble the instrument cluster for whatever reason (including getting in amongst the speedo), it can be found here. Probably worth a sticky if it isn't already:

    I don't get instantaneous or average MPG. I get the 2 hour "take a break" indication and I also get mileage until tank empty display. The time clock sometimes resets too, so I think all internal connectors could do with a little clean and firm push home.

    Thanks for the linked thread, I'll take a look now.

    I had the dash cluster out, but never opened it up. I did blast the connectors with contact cleaner and made sure they were all firmly home.

    Are there more connectors inside the dash cluster? Any guides out there for disassembly?

    Mine used to do this on and off, after I had the clocks out once or twice it started working as normal again so assumed it must of been a bad connection on one of the block connectors, suppose just check all connectors are good give them a clean with Kontact cleaner and fingers crossed, hate trying to fettle electrical faults they can be a mare to trace. Do all the other readings work OK

    I had similar issues on mine and replaced the main board to fix it
