Hi all,

I have an question, well my speedometer is not working, when I am driving, the pointer is over 260 km/h , no matter if I am driving 40 km/h or 120 km/h .

In the winter, when it was very cold (about -10 degrees Celsius) the speedometer was fine, when the car was warmer, then the pointer was again on 260 km/h 

Can anybody help me? Is it electrical problem?

Thank you!

Best regards,

-Zeljko

You may just need a new speedo cable. Does it jump around?

No, when I start driving, about 20-30 km/h, the pointer is allready on the end of 260 km/h :(. It is not jumping, just when I start to drive he immediately goes to 260 km/h. you think it is speedo cable?

thank you for replying and helping me.

it sounds like it could be, problem is i bet you cant get parts easily, to just give it a go.

on a totally unrelated point, i just noticed your signature. i was at ufc in manchester, did you come over?

there were loads of croatians there.

I'd say your speedometer assembly is kaput. Remove your speedo and test with an electric drill at low rpm and if it shoots up to the 240km stop, then it's junk. :(

2chiefbrody: Yes, I was in Manchester, sadly, Mirko lost the fight, but it was suprise to all in the team that Gonzaga can do that kind of punch.
Now we all have to train for the rematch .

2BLOFLY: well I will test it, but I am not accepting that is kaput :), where I will find another one?! :( I live in Croatia you know :) Only 2 Starions are in Croatia :)

If it is kaput, you'd probably be best sticking a wanted ad on Starion.co.uk or whatever it is (do a search and it'll pop up) as I'm fair sure postage from the UK wouldn't be so bad for that kind of parcel.

That said, it seems fairly dead on there (no offence if anyone is on here!) so maybe best to peruse UK auctions (ebay etc) and car forums.

If I spot one breaking, I'll let you know.

As for Mirko, I was cheering him on. Most of the UK guys were. It was a kick though, not a punch that floored him. I was really surprised by all the Croatians in the audience. You were probably sat near me :D

You should be able to get it repaired...... just find someone who sepcialises in fixing mechanical speedos in your Area ?

I had my old speedo fixed, not as bad as your's but still repairable with no issue. Best to try and get it fixed then trying to find a used one from starionUK

2chiefbrody: sorry for my bad English, it was an kick.. :) I was with my colleagues form team in a first row  Maybe I saw you.
Please send me if you find something about buying an new (used) speedometer.

2toysrus: thank you for an advice! 

I am confused, because when it is cold outside, the speedometer is working ok, when it gets warmer, it brakes..   so I think that it can be repaired.


Thank you guys 
