Thanks again Mark. Do you know where i will get one from or is it a main dealer part? Do the transfer box have to come off to remove the sensor?

to remove the speed sensor it's just one small bolt and pull but don't forget to drain the oil in the transfer first or you will have oil everywhere :-)

no i didnt remove the box i just felt for looseness etc and checked the wires for splits/breaks. I changed the clutch a few months ago but the speedo has been working since then and it has only just stopped working now. i will slip underneath again tomorrow and have another look see if i can remove the sensor.

Thanks rockwatt that advise will come in handy and save me some oil to refill the transfer box.

My speedo stops working every now and then. I find that it is usually a loose connection under the fuses that are next to the battery so I just jiggle everything and then it normally comes good. If it doesn't immediately come good then it still fixes itself some days or weeks later.

In the meantime, for the G13BB engine, the following rev/kph figures are pretty accurate...

Non-lugging revs

5th gear 3000 revs 80 kph Most roads, arterials
5th gear 4000 revs 100 kph Freeway cruising

4th gear 2250 revs 50 kph Built-up areas

3rd gear 2500 revs 40kph School areas

Hope this helps, it does for me :)
