speedoHi all,

Easy swap for a mid '90s 626 or MX6 speedo from a breakers, the ones that have GA5R printed at the bottom of the dial are a straight swap.
10 minute job with a Phillips screwdriver.

I kind of got used to to the kilometers on the clickaphone & never thought of changing the speedo, unless there was an unrepairable problem...
Besides the kilometer-age tally's up with any relevant documentation..
.. Not that i plan selling it, i'm hoping it will give a fitting Viking funeral come my demise...!
How many clicks is it to Valhalla anyway?

Welcome phatgit (like the callsign
)
Live with the speedo (there's some evidence that they are better left alone as rechipping can occasionally cause a gearbox malfunction due to poor connections, easily rectified though if it does happen but baffling and annoying nonetheless). Spend the dosh instead (if not done already) on fitting a low coolant alarm for peace of mind
