Another little updatem mostly as I've had a problem with it recently and hoped this might help someone in the future trying to Google the answer.
My speedo cable cable snapped a few months ago, my own fault not being careful when I was removing the alternator, thought nothing of it and figured i'd just buy another cable, I was wrong.
Genuine ones are NLS so I went for a pattern one, fitment was terrible and just generally not a good quality product so I bought another, more expensive pattern one, this one fitted a little better but anything over 30mph and the noise from the speedo was crazy.
Then I managed to track down a genuine used cable from a Corsa, I thoughts my issues were done and dusted but after it arrived I realised the end that goes into the gearbox was broken so that was a no go Oh and during all this time, without a speedo cable the car cuts out everytime the clutch is dipped so it was basically off the road, not a big deal in 2020 tbh but a pain in the bum.
So in the end I decided to take a punt on a genuine Nova speedo cable on ebay for a tenner, arrived in good condition and 20 minutes later it was all fitted and sorted so there is a tip for anyone who can't find a Corsa b speedo cable, buy a Nova one, it works :thumbs:
Might even manage to get a few miles on it during the last couple of months of summer :nod:
