I can't see how a broken cable could be reused...

Re: speedo cable.

tip for anybody dealing with gainmanor fiat - also try benfield fiat, as the speedo cable from them is £11.79

Re: speedo cable.

well i took the speedo cable off the car, and drove the panda around town, and the noise had disappeared, so it looks like its definitely the speedo.

with regards to the price. i rang up benfield fiat and they said 'your car is too old for the computers, can you give us the chassis number' (i was a bit miffed to be told the car is too old ). i then gave my chassis number to the guy at gainmanor and his price came out at £25.66, so if anybody else looking for a selecta speedo cable is ripped off, buy it from benfield fiat in newcastle upon tyne and have it send to you.

Re: speedo cable.

sorry forgot to say...

Benfield Fiat, Railway Street, Newcastle upon Tyne. 0191 2732131. i will have the part number by tomorrow (or you could just give them the chassis number when you ring). If Benfield Fiat wont send the part out, i could pick it up and then sent it to you.
