Speedometer reading zero on Citroen C3
I recently bought a 2002 Citroen C3 1.4 LX petrol.
The speedo reads zero and shows no speed when travelling. The mileage stands still also. I've been told by once source that it's the ECU and that it's not the ECU from another source.
Just trying to find out before sending the ECU away for an expensive repair.

More likely to be the speed sensor on the final drive.
