Make sure the inner of the cable is properly seated at both ends. Thumbs Up

Did you take the broken bit out of the speedo before fitting the new one?

Usually the inner cable is square at the speedo head end and just pushes in when lined up with the corresponding square shaped hole. Might be an idea to remove the speedo so you can have a good look at what's going on.


ok thanks
