Title: Tacho
Post by: LFF64 on 28 February 2009, 12:42:24

I have just noticed the tahco is not working , problem is I am not syre when it stopped .
I have just fitted the sat nav to my car so something may have happened while doing that  :-[ but I have also had the dash display out at the same sort of time .
I have pulled the dash display out and reseated it and it made no difference .
When I start the car I can see a very slight defection on the needle .
 Other than the needle not moving what other problems may this be causing the car runs fine  :y

We can stick tech2 on it which will show if its a tacho failure or a poor connection between car and dash

Pop it over at some point, we can take a look.  If Tech2 is non conclusive, can always try a dash from either of mine (both are electrically compatible with yours)
