Ok guys,

i was installing some white diles into a friends car (1995 TS 4cly Exec) and after i installed them the speedo started to shake and the vibrate heaps when toy would go to slow down. the hole is big enough for the neadel to stick through... any ideas

thanks

Send me a copy of the dials via e-mail i will install them on my (92 tr 4cly exec) and i can tell if i get the same problem. :cool:

Helpfull:nuts:
Mine vibrates aswell (well its more of a wobble) at 40-50km/h :confused:

Mine wobbles too, usually when I've left the car in the sun or something.

same problem here, like its not a steady rise, but it sort of jerks its way up to 50ish.
i cant help ya mate, I'd like to know what i can do aswell:cry:

mine does it 40-50kms as well but steady everywhere else?

Why was that a question...? :confused:

quickest way to stop my speedo vibrating, was take the missus' 'toy' off it.

lol yeh mine has speed wobbles like a mofo. Especially wobbles over 140... like the car is gonna fall apart. (probably is actually)

Has anybody ever considered this: the speedo is actually fine.. its just our vision playing tricks? .. either that or too much weeeeed maaan.

Mine does it 40-50km/h too.. Then smooth all the way up to 200 lol .

I haven't had a Magna speedo apart but I am familar with this from older cars. As the speedo wears it develops an endfloat in the main shaft the needle is attached to. This caused the wobble as the aluminium disc moves closer and further away from the rotating magnet. The older type of speedos I am familar with had an adjustment just behind the dial to correct this. However if you over tighten it you finish up with a speedo that sticks.

The wobble is normally worse when the needle is near vertical.

As I said I am not familar with the innards of Magna speedos but feel that as a mechanical speedo it will be similar.
