Arrow on the speedo - not lit up

Featured Replies

Hi,

I only got my car last week, and my partner drove it home from where we bought it.. so they have already driven it for 90 miles since we got it.. and on the surface everything looks good so far!

One minor (maybe not so minor) is that the led light in the arrow on the speedo doesn't seem to be working! And with the dash showing kmph.. unless we quickly learn kmph and convert to mph on our heads as we go, then it's a challenge to know exactly what speed we're doing when it's dark.

Is this a big fix? How much would a garage charge me to do this? (I know NOTHING about hands on stuff myself and neither does my partner!)

Really really appreciate any advice on this!

Thank you,

J

Nothing techi to offer apart from .... temu do a fake heads up unit that shows speed in mpg for around 6 quid. Possibly a tad cheaper than a mechanic if car is running OK??

Either the dash shows mph or the car is not legal in Derby (or the rest of the UK).
