Hey All I just Joined up today and Need some Expert Advice

Well, I got a EBII Fairmont and it's got this realy bad Speedo Problem. It works Fine in
reverse but when i go in forward gears ECT. 1,2,3,D It comes up 0. And when I drive it hard and strong and rev the F**k out of it it sometimes works.

Any ideas please becuase i took it to rebel ford and they have no clue. Chears

Hay Me again. Does any1 know how to downgrade clusters because as i said before
i repaced my high series with a XR mid series and not a single thing worked so i had to put
the digital one back in.

Hay Finnaly found the proplemo.It was the speedo gear senser thing in the F***ing G'box i took it to ford and they got it sorted out in 30 hours (25 1/2 hours for part from melbo :roll: ) $350 later and i was goin great guns. So if u got that prob u've grinded the gear out

And thanks for all the help guys cos that could've lost me my licence if cops pulled me up and found out it was faulty
