Hi all,

I'm after a little advice about the Vague-liar on my 78 Strada.

Odometer fine, needle oscillates wildly - 10-40mph until I hit about 40 then all over the dial as though it was directly connected to the cable.

I hoped it was a sticky cable but not certain it is. If I insert a suitable square cable into the head and turn it the needle moves with the turning right round the dial.

I'm confused!

Cheers Simon

Hello Simon,

It looks like the instrument needs a repair. There has been a thread recently discussing Speedo repairs, mine was wild and 30% fast. Sent off for repair and working ok now.

Cheers Mickey,

I searched for a thread but might be incompetent there! Can I ask where you got yours done?

Cheers Simon

An easier way to search (for me) is to google the following: speedo repair site:morini-riders-club.com/forum
Type it into your query box to see. You can change 'speedo repair' to anything else you are looking for. I don't know if it works on all browsers, but google is OK.

Hi Brickboy,
There is a thread on "500" section - I know because I started it regarding where best to get my clocks repaired. I eventually went to Peter Bond (guageman1@gmail.com) as I had not had any reply to questions sent to Speedy Cables. Interestingly, they came back with an email on Tuesday, about 4 weeks after my enquiry; this was some 10 days after I had sent my clocks to Peter. Their prices are significantly lower than Peter Bond's but judging by various comments by others, Simply Cables do not sound so good. I have experience of Peter Bond's work but have never had anything done by Speedy Cables.
Good luck,
Charles

Lovely, thank you for that. It's certainly somewhere to start!

Cheers Simon
