Rev Counter

Post by Scotty » Sun Aug 27, 2006 8:25 pm

Just returned from a week touring around West Wales - Bongo perfumed well throughout although I've noticed that the first 10minutes or so into any journey the rev counter flicks about and sometimes drops to zero. After 10 minutes or so everything is fine - I drove all the way home from West Wales to Somerset without a problem. I've recently had the transmission oil changed so. Any ideas - I've checked the fourm for similar ppostings - but no one has a solution.

Peter, try Maplins or any electronic supplier. You want contact cleaner or component cleaner.
