Southie 10 Posted January 19, 2013 Have you checked the connectors on the Vehicle Speed Sensor ? sometimes they can get a little corroded and cause the intermittent signal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nrc 0 Posted January 19, 2013 The road speed signal is sent via a blue/white wire and there are several take-offs for this on the fusebox. One of them could perhaps be shorting to the body intermittently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ralphead 0 Posted January 20, 2013 If you have an LCD odometer then it'll be an electrical speedo. Mine was playing and it was the speed sensor as nrc said. I just replaced the top cap, I got it off a scrap diesel Seat of some sort. You can find the sender behind the gear linkage on the top of the g/box. Try cleaning the plug and socket and have a butchers at the inside of the cap, mine was clearly knackered. Don't lose the little magnet that lives under the cap! Mines a 16v by the way.
