How do all!
A family friend on the Isle of Wight has had the speedo cable failed. She has an M reg 1.1 petrol AX, and it uses the one piece cable. She has been quoted £200 (part and labour). The garage have said that they can only get the cable from Citroen, for £100 (Ouch!), and that it is a 4 hour job (so not a bad labour charge). I have looked on GSF and ECP, and they don't have the cables. However, she is having to save up to have this done. Can anybody help her on this. I have lent her my old Sat Nav so she can see her speed, but it is a bit of a bodge.

Yes, I am paranoid, but am I paranoid ENOUGH?

Re: AX speedo cable failed!
you can quite easily convert it to electric speedo using the saxo mk1 dash pod and electric sender on the gearbox.
I believe the pin on the dash pod for the signal is on the blue plug and is pin 4.
Setting up the feeds to the plug on the gearbox is very easy as well.
I used to convert AX's in about one hour, all in.
If you go down that route let me know and i'll dig out all the info.

Re: AX speedo cable failed!
I don't know if 'Speedy Cables' are still going, I heard they were fairly recently, they will make a cable for anything. Used them in the '50s!
