Hi, can anyone tell me how to remove the speedo cable from the back of the instrument panel? Am trying to fix blown dash lights and there's so little slack on the cable I can't get the panel out far enough to see how it's fixed, so am having to work blind. Haynes just says 'detach the cable'!
Don't want to have to detach it from the gearbox if poss and the cable is all one piece.
Is it easy enough to re-attach it afterwards as well?
Cheers.

Hi Ali,
I didn't have an AX but I had a 205, both made by the same motor group though so probably similar.
I may be wrong but from memory (a long time ago) it was difficult to pull out the instrument panel after unscrewing the upper and lower retaining screws (two of each). There were two (I think) instrument panel spring supports which had to be depressed, and then the panel could be pulled forward. A couple of multiplugs had to be disconnected then I'm fairly sure the speedo cable was disconnected by squeezing two sort of diametrically opposed lugs at the end of the cable where it enters the panel. Can't be absolutely sure but I think that's right. Probably very similar on AX's.
Maybe someone who has owned an AX will be able to confirm, or tell you otherwise.
Good luck.

Hi Ron,
Thanks very much for the advice. That sounds very similar to what I found with the AX. Didn't think to try sqeezing the lugs!
If there's anyone reading who has an AX and could comfirm that before I take it all apart again that would be great!
Thanks again Ron.
Ali
