Series III Instrument panel - Land Rovers Only

archaeology_student · 01-17-2007, 12:20 AM

Hi,

I have noticed that my speedo needle tends to bounce around quite a bit. Is there anything I can do to correct this little annoyance?

I just thought that I would ask. I have not had a chance to get into my instrument panel... does anyone know what type of light bulbs are inside that illuminate the dash? Are they wedge based, or the bayonet style?

Thank you

Pour some oil down the inner of the cable. But this will involve taking off the dash cover first.

Usually the speedo wobble is because your output bearing on your tranny is loose... but this is a fairly major job to fix.. try the oil first... but check to make sure you have no play in the rear drive shaft.... (make sure you check without the emerg brake on....)
