Hi I have a problem with my Nissan Terrano I 1991 2.7TD, i have no indication of speed, although the rpm indicator works fine, I think the conector(??? bad english) from the engine to the speed indicator is broken, anyone knows where it is located..so I can repair/change it???

Txh

Is your Terrano a japanese import model?
The speed-indicator (speedo) takes its reading from the side of the gear-box not the engine.
To check the "speedo" end you will find it fairly easy to remove the dash board gauges cluster and then check to make sure that the drive cable is actually screwed up tight to the back of the speedo. It might be a bayonet or clip fitting (I can't remember.)
The speedo reads the car's speed from a connection on the side of the gear-box.That connection is easy to find as the cable is a fairly thick one and is the only one like it on the side of the gear-box. It is different to electrical cables.
I had the connection come loose on mine once and it was easy to fix.
Hope you find it OK
Cheers
