Stuart McGill Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 The little rubber button on the speedo... , is it meant to do something. I'm assuming so but mine does not! On a 2004 car, K Series. Cheers Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Richard Price Posted September 9, 2008 Area Representative Share Posted September 9, 2008 The little rubber button on the speedo... , is it meant to do something. Yes! One press swaps from odometer to trip, or trip to odometer, and press and hold resets the trip. In light of your other issues, I'd try removing and refitting the multi pin plug on the back of the tacho (which may be easier if you remove the tacho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nov-07 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I had this problem with a 2004 Seven. I first contacted, then sent the speedometer to Caerbont, the makers. They fixed the fault and returned the instrument, for no charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart McGill Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thanks for this. Just spoken to a very helpful chap at Caerbont... he says he can fix at no charge and will turn it round ASAP for me. Are there any implications (apart from the obvious) of driving without a speedo?

Area Representative Paul Richards Posted September 10, 2008 Area Representative Share Posted September 10, 2008 Stuart It's presumably illegal to drive without a speedo. Why not fit a bike speedo? They are so cheap (£10 or less depending on features), more accurate than the standard item, have more features (clock, max speed trip etc.) and the ability to switch to KPH for jaunts across the water. Many of us fit them as well as standard speedo. I also find it much easier to read with a small steering wheel. I'd fit one (should keep you on the right side of the law) and then send off standard one for repair and keep the cycle speedo even when the standard one is repaired. If you decide to fit one, give me a ring and I'll send some pics of the best way to do it - taking pick up from driveshaft. Paul Richards Area Representative - L.A.D.S.

Andy Best Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 When my speedo broke I asked if it was illegal to drive without one and told not. However, sir it is your responsibility to drive within the speed limit. I saved getting tickets by putting some temporary marks on the rev counter that corresponded to speeds in 5 & 6. Not ideal but easy to do for a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
