can i still get a speedo cable for?

Hi

had the new clutch and recon gearbox fitted to the starcraft...but the speedo cable is fubar

still not sure on the engine, someone who has seen it says its a pug unit, but branded as a ford and could be from a early tranny....the gearbox is a type 9 longnose.

so would it still be possible to get one of these? i dont have a engine number,....bah

cheers

It's the type 9 bit that's significant, so a 5 speed seirra cable should fit.

Type 9? Most definitely.

Capri, Sierra, P100...

thanks, i wasnt sure if both ends matched up, say same box but mated to a diff engine..

i need to find out why the temp gauge doesnt work also, its a diesel engine, maybe 2.4/2.5 so thats my next job..

whats the engine like? its noisy, but i have a 5k euro trip in a few months, wondering if it has any weak points...never had a ford, never mind a diesel before!

Brakes arnt too great, but then im using a T3 vw...feels much softer and not as sharp..

They're rattly old things..

M16 calipers? Try changing the pads to EBCs.
