Hello fellow rover drivers,
i recently drove my P6 3500 LHD (1971, round gauges) when i heard some squeaking from the dashboard. Sure enough an hour later i heard a screeching noise and since then the speedometer is dead. I assume it is a mechanical failure of either the speedo cable or the angle drive. What would be the correct way to repair it? I have already a replacement speedo cable, but i want to avoid the hassle to replace it if possible. So my plan is to remove the instrument panel covers and check the angle drive first. If i see a mechanical problem with the angle drive, would you recommend to replace the cable as well?
And the final question: Where do i get a new angle drive if needed? Does anybody have a part number?
Greetings from Germany
