    C70 T5 speedo 'froze' for a while this morning.

    So my year 2000 me7 C70 T5's speedo 'froze' this morning at 30 mph, even though I was going 60 or so. After a few minutes, it rose to the correct speed, but what the hell caused that plz peeps?

    would this also be one of your cars that you were having abs/tracs light issues with ?, as this could be related....afaik the n/s/f wheel speed sensor provides the speedo signal....my olive T-5R has no speed signal as the front sensors are currently disconnected.

    It is Adrian, and the ABS light is still on after coming on during heavy snow in the West Mids early Dec. I wondered if it could be connected, and I use my satnav usually for a more accurate speed reading anyway. If the ABS light doesn't go out soon, then she'll be in to my local indy for checking out.

    I'm thinking either the the sensor or rotten wiring to it and more than likely the passenger side or both possibly....hope you get it sorted soon

    I was planning on reworking mine on olive with the v70 items, as this then removes the connector from the strut and moved it back into the engine bay for a little extra protection from the elements. As normal they're still awaiting connection....well maybe this year
