hi guys.................
N Reg Import Waggon
I have today installed a TurboTimer with Gear Change light. also a new boost gauage![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Drove the car and npticed the Speedo was not working and i did not think any thing of it untill i put my foot dowqn to test the gear change light that i had set at 5500rpm. The car souned as it had hit the limiter and the Engine Check Light came on. I again boosted to 4500 as before and the car did the same. I got back and reomved the clocks and it looked as if the speedo cable had fallen off. I re attached and make sure it sat as it should when i put it back in. The car then said i was doing 100mph when i was a junction and the needed jum,ping accross the speedo face. ive had it on and off 3 times now just wondered if any oen can help or say that the speedo not been linked would cause the issues above?i know it has a small round silver device that sits on the clocks and then onto the wire for the speedo so i assume this is the converter
Please help![Frown](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)

Yep speedo not working will put it into safety mode and set the rev limit to 4500. fix the speedo and the rev limit should be ok
your correct the bit in the back is the kph/mph converter
