Back to them those two bloody spiders of mine.
'86 Veloce trip/odometer is practically dead. In the last 3-4 thousand miles I put on, I have hardly recorded 150. The speedometer, however is fine and accurate, it only twitches and shakes under 20MPH. Once passed that speed it's steady and accurate.
The tech on this car seems to be temperature affected and is lately, more often than not, not working. Sometimes it comes on but displays volatility. Sometimes it gives too low a reading, and sometimes it is asleep.
Left that car with Julio, yesterday, and took back '87 Quadrifolglio. All the major issues are gone. Late last summer a friend offered to help me replace the speedometer cable. Am not sure we ever did it quite right. The odometer works and appears to be accurate, the speedometer is becoming moody. The reading ranges anywhere from zero to way lower speed than what it in reality is.
These are two different cars, experiencing different issues. What conclusions can be drawn from this? I assume I'll have to open both cars' instrumentation clusters and see if something obvious is involved. How hard would that be?
Any recommendation?
Thank you all,
