Hi to all, lost Speedo readings last week, followed previous threads, detached from behind instrument cluster. No movement at that end when driving so presume need new cable.

Tried Local Fiat dealer in colchester, discontinued, no response from breakeryard or spares 24/7. Anyone know anywhere they may ve available for a 92 clx or is it a send it to speedy cable for them to make a copy job? Seems bit unneccessary but are there none out there?

Mamy thanks, Geoff

I'd try the suppliers listed in the sticky at the top of the Classic Panda section front page -- xunil20 on eBay.it would probably be my first point of call.

Hmmm yeah, good question. Do post up on here if you have any luck on ebay.it...

I have been looking for a while and have a friend looking for one in Spain.

I think the fiat part number is 46444815 (my friend found this but I have not got it yet so cannot check if fitment is ok).

Hi thanks, yeah been checking ebay and there were 2 on this week but unfortunately not for mine, its the one with plastic clip/slider at Speedo, i'll check the ebayer recomended thanks.

To be fair i've quickly got used to it not being there, speedings not usually a problem. Mot next month tho.

It's not tested at the mot. It will fail if the speedo is obviously broken or missing, but with a failed cable they won't know (if you don't tell them!). I had a 127 pass an mot for years with no working speedometer.

Might take the pressure off at least if you can't find one straight away.

Great, didn't think it through really, guess they don't go anywhere so will never realise. Thanks for info.

a cinquecento SX 899 speedo cable will fit perfectly

New speedo cable has been fitted and we have MPH again, after initial panic when I realised it is about a foot shorter than the original and wouldn't go "around" the ventilation box a crafty reroute under it saved the day.


Cheers,


Geoff

that was how it has been on all of my pandas... well not for Talon, his was like that, but i replaced it with the cinq SX speedo cable and it was about 2 ft longer??

mines just gone now, anybody find one that will fit a 92 Sisley?

post above yours says Cinq SX

IF you want to keep things looking "original" you could probably use a new inner, and keep your existing outer sleeve,

Sadly I have found that if the cable has snapped the I have found that it is the outer cable that has failed..

The cinqucento SX cable for me was a good replacement. I would pump some extra grease down it though just to keep things smooth.
