Peugeot 406 Speedometer - Richard Constable
Have just purchased a Peugeot 406 2.0 turbo with 15k on the clock, mileage seems original, 4 years old. Its suddenly developed a fault after about 500 miles constant use whereby the speedometer reads 0 until you reach about 30-40mph and then reads normally from then on. But can jump back and forth to 0 at any speed. None of the other dials seem to have been affected.

Is this a common fault that only a dealer should attend to? Purchased from a non franchised dealer, but the guarantee is not covered by a fault such as this.

Your guidance would be appreciated.

Earth fault caused by the car sitting around for most of its life. You can expect a lot of other faults for the same reason.
