dashboard ticking

flymo · 28-12-2006, 15:22

as I'm driving along there is an odd ticking kind-of noise coming from what appears to be behind the dashboard. Any ideas on what it is and/or how to stop it? Think it maybe the speedo cable...?

Yep, the speedo cable is the culprit.

20 min easy DIY job too.

It may sound daft but try pushing the trip button in ! I have had loads of customers in the past with such a problem,if that fails,then speedo cable is the fault.
