1996 1.9TD Rev counter - burge
My Rev counter has recently decided to intermittantly stop working , when you first start up it is working ok, then during your journey it will stop and start at will sometimes staying off for long periods and sometimes flicking up & down several times before settling at where it should be. this can happen several times or not at all. As its a deisel I am not sure where it operates from as in petrol (the Coil) can anyone help.

That's a bad year for that question on a 1.9 - it all depends on the engine code and the make of the fuelling.

The sensor on most XUD engines is on the top of the gearbox just below the cylinder head. Its not very easy to get at but there should be a connector just above which is quite likely causing the problem. Disconnect it, give it a good clean then a thin film of grease. If that doesn't do it, its probably a faulty sensor. It could also possibly be a poor connection on the instrument panel.
