436 forum posts 5 photos	I was helping my mate replace the tacho cable on a vintage coach. After we did this we took it out for a spin and the odometer was clocking up the distance but the speed indicator was not working. We opened it up and there was a white slider which we moved to the other position. After this the speedo worked. I can't think why the speedo would have an option to turn it off. Any thoughts. ?

436 forum posts 5 photos	Oh no, the disc speed recording worked, we could see the pointers(pens? pencils?) that record the speed move out from the centre as we went really fast (25 MPH). Just had a thought, I wonder if its an interlock, so when there is no disc fitted the "speedo" bit does not work. Wonder why you can manually over ride it. Frank
