Thread: Series 3 speedo - Who repairs in Sydney or who has one to sell?

Did you Google “Automotive instrument repairs Sydney”? I guess not because several came up, including one in St Marys that I used over 50 years ago.

Note that there are nine different speedos for Series 3, depending on km/miles, trip or not, and tyre size.

Ok, that makes it more indepth then. Was there a more narrow range for the Stage 1s?

Yeah, cheers for that. St Marys is on the other side of Sydney to me... hence why i asked about repairers in Southern Sydney.

Australia is pretty advanced. We now have a postal service.

If I recall correctly, Smiths speedos have a set of numbers on the scale specifying the number of turns per mile/km.

See DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPEEDOS

Really? That hasn't been my experience.

Another thing to check before looking for a speedo.The speedo drive gear is driven by a worm gear on the T/C output shaft. It is not splined or keyed, but relies on being clamped by the nut on the end of the shaft. If this nut is loose,it will not turn, and the speedo will not work!

There are only four speedos for the Stage 1- mph or kph, and with and without trip.
