Driving to work this morning and the econometer on the dash suddenly stopped working :-(.
It's an 83 campaign. Just had a new switch on the gearbox, and the reverse lights are still working.
The little light no longer flashes and the needle doesn't appear when in fifth anymore.
Anyone got any ideas on what to check first?

There is a small vacuum pipe that runs from rear of clocks and go's to brake servo pipe. Very thin pipe comes out the middle of bulkhead. Try that for splits or falling off

Thanks for the reply.
Wouldn't that effect the mfa reading too? The mpg reading on mfa still works, just the little light and the needle.

Haven't had a chance yet. Been fixing the exhaust manifold gaskets today
Fixed now though no more ticking! Lovely.
Ill be whipping them out tomorrow to do the speedo cable, which is clicking like mad. Ill have a scan to see if the vac pipe has come off.
I was thinking it maybe something electrical?

Do you mean the trip mileage thing? Reset it back to zero?
