Speedo cable

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Hi, has anyone got a complete speedo cable (either one piece or two piece?).

The lower piece that connects to the transmission is still available from Citroen. I've just had it done.

It will be necessary to know which type Mary as early models have different fittings due to the location of the speed sensor. Regards, Matthew T.

There used to be a firm in London called 'Speedy cables' that would make them up, it was about 50 years ago but I believe they are still going.

Not really Mathew! The two types of speed sensors are changable. My H reg S1 24v has the speed sensor ON the gearbox, with a cable extension down to it, yet the H reg 2.1 SED has it in the split at the top by the bulk head.

However, your point about cable types is vailid, as I beleve the connection are different..

My problem is that I need the drive for my CX. The gearbox type will not fit the CX but the type that fits in the cable join will.
