Wow

have Fiat started making Unos again?

 

[Ucof]

Yeah, didn't you know?

It was announced on the forum a while back. I thought you paid attention



You say it doesn't have a speedo cable, do you mean that the speedo doesn't work, or that the entire cable unit is missing? If it is missing, can you not just find the hole in the bulkhead and thread it through?
I'm sorry I can't be of any more help, I only have a normal Uno and don't have a spare grand laying around to buy a Turbo with

OK, assuming this is an old Uno Turbo...
(and Chas - 1986Uno45S - that thread you linked to is about a clutch cable... )

Did you figure out how to get to the back of the instruments? On the Mk1 you pop the lid up close to the windscreen, then pull it towards you to disengage from hooks near the steering wheel. On the Mk2, you undo some Allen screws (hex-socket capscrews).

The cable fitting has a collar that must be held back so the plastic fingers clip on to the instrument. You may need to rotate the cable to engage it.

The gearbox end is fairly straightforward (threaded ring) but it would be easy to cross-thread the ring and difficult to see, so take your time. Perhaps work from underneath the car.

I think usually the speedometer cable runs across on top of the heater casing, inside the car, and emerges through a grommet on the left side of the bulkhead.

Oops! Clutch cable, speedo cable, feeling tired = getting them mixed up!

You can remove the speedo cable without removing the dash top in a mk1 - it's fiddly but I've done it
