broken speedo MOT fail was created by Cricket
just put the motor in for its MOT and got the usual.. FAILED.. call back. The mechanic kindly built up from low screen wash and an air freshner obscuring vision toooooooo the faulty speedo..which they do not fix there! So i have to take it somewhere else before i get a re-test.
the speedo just randomly stopped working one day along with the mile clock underneath it. the rev count etc all stil work though. no engine warning light has come on or anything.
I was wondering if anybody had any clues as to a quick fix before i spend my day trying to find somebody who will deal with this (mean while being carless until my retest

Speedo not working or milage not showing is not an mot fail all it has to do is light up so you can see it
cant fail on low screen wash only if it dont squirt on the screen
or an air freshner there is an advisory saying items removed from drivers view
I know this as im a tester if you like i can take a pic of all the above and post on here or email them to you tonite or go on to directgov.com and look for the mot link and the manual for testing should be on there
