What's wrong with my speedometer?

My speedometer keeping dropping to zero even when I am driving at speed. What do I do?

Hi Zara,

You'll have to bring the car to a mechanic I'm afraid. It could be a problem with the sender unit, which is usually mounted in the gearbox, the cable between that and the speedometer or with the receiver on the speedo itself. Impossible to know remotely.

Let us know how you get on
