Citroen C5 Speedometer not working
David Taylor
My dad's speedometer has stopped working, garage quoting nearly £500
to fix... (Plus the £64 to do a diagnostic check and confirm that
it was broken!)
Anyway, I'm assuming it's a stepper motor or linkage to the needle
that has gone as the odometer and cruise control work fine. Searching
the net gave some hints, but no clear solution.
As a first step, does anyone know how to get the speedo unit off to
have a look?

Mrcheerful
sounds like the stepper motor, you can swap the tacho one to test, this
place repairs the cluster:
"Had the same problem with mine and the dealer said it was either the BSI or
the Speedo head. Both in the region of 300quid, scrappies wanted 120 upwards
with no guarantee but an internet search informed me of a guy called ethan
at clusterrepairs.co.uk. He assisted me on how to get the unit out and fixed
it in a morning because I took it to him, but also does mail order. Cost 120
and guaranteed for 12months. Top bloke would recommend"

Good info to know. Citroen make relatively cheap cars, but they know how
to charge for repairs (as I have found since buying my daughter a C2!)
