Hi. Im having abit of a problem with my car. The speedo has stoped working and i have checked my fuses and they are all good. But since my speedo stoped, my engine keeps cutting out now and again. Anyone got any ideas what could be the cause of this?
Cheers

if it's P reg or below I think they are cable driven speedos. could be the cable that has snapped. it's cutting out because there is a speed sensor on the speedometer. mine used to cut out when i braked lol
