Hi all,
Driving home yesterday and had to slow through a 60 zone and speedo was at 72kph so I kept slowing and thought hang on i'm at 1500 rpm!!!! The speedo stopped at 72kph. Then as I sped up past 72kph the needle moved up and it has not stopped there again. Did a search and didn't find anything is this a know issue?
TIA...Leroy

G'day Leroy,
I'm assuming (cos you said "72") that it must be a TI model with digital readout on the speedo?
Sounds a bit weird and i can only assume it's one of gremlins that "electronics" cause which make me detest them so much.
Good luck

Hey Roachie,
No an ST with analog display but was reading approx. 72 kph.

I'll wait until it's out of warranty first!

Had a commadore that did this, all you needed to do was place your hand on the speedo the magnetic filed nocked it for you!
