    Why has my speedo stopped working?

    It was working fine them just stopped.
    I've tried a different set of clocks, it's not that.
    Unplugged the joint and cleaned it up, still not working.
    It feels like it's in the gearbox properly
    What's next to check?

    in my experience sack the joint and join the wires with a simple block conector.

    Get the pick up out of the gearbox, held in by a small bolt/clamp near the exhaust downpipe. It might need a clean up .

    Clean up or replace the connection near the air filter/suspension turret and clean up the connection at the back of the clocks. If it still doesn't work inspect/replace the sensor itself.

    Yep will do that this weekend.
    Can I test the connector at the dash end at all?

    Guess only way to test the connector would be to use a continuity tester or test lamp to check the wiring from the engine bay connector through to the back of the speedo.

    My speedo has been flakey for ages so i need to do the same at some point. It comes to life if i wiggle the wires in the engine bay, so i think i will just replace the wiring with some new stuff.

    my advice is dont touch anything until you have changed the connector. If it still doesnt work then look elsewhere.
