There is a whole car that is for sale in NSW. I know its not in brissy but even with transport costs it might be cheaper than a front cut.

I received the replacement speedo sensor from the wrecker today. This time i tested it before i installed it. Sensor works fine and now so does my speedo :)
I contacted Nippon Air parts regarding my aircon and they can supply a remanufactured compressor for $475, Receiver Drier for $20 and...
I used voltage. Thanks for the link, i'll give craig a call.
If i lived in the same town as you my car would definately be at your shop. I still need to drive the car so i could afford to send the sensor away without replacing it.
The wrecker has agreed to swap the sensor for another. The...
I removed the speedo sensor from the gearbox tonight to bench test it. I connected 12V to the red/blue pin, earthed the white pin and measured the voltage output from the yellow pin. The voltage was a constant 12V and did not fluctuate when spinning the cog. I will ring the wrecker where i...
I jacked the car up today to try and diagnose the speedo issue. Here is what i found:
Connector for Sensor B has 3 wires: yellow, red/blue and white (in that order left to right when looking at the plug)
With the ignition on i got the following voltages:
White= 0V
red/blue= 12V...
Thanks for the advise guys.
I'm still trying to find someone in Townsville with another celsior/ls400 so i can swap some parts and test them.
I took the car to an aircon shop today and they reakcon the compressor is dead and the evaporator is clogged. I've already sorced another...
I got a fault code of 42 - No. 1 speed sensor signal malfunction when i ran the diagnostic test. I replaced sensor 'B' (the one with the cog) and reset the fault codes by removing the 20 amp EFI fuse in the engine bay and i also disconnected the battery.
The speedo still does not work and...
Hey mate, i'm after a speedo sensor i think. (Speedo doesn't work at all but the gearbox changes gears fine). I unplugged this senor and nothing changed so i'm thinking it needs replacing. Its for a 1990 celsior.
Cheers,
Tristan...
Thanks mate,
Not sure whats wrong with the compressor, just took it to an aircon place to see why its not cold and was told the compressor needs replacing.
I unplugged sensor 'B' and the gearbox still chaged gears fine. I'm assuning this is the sensor that needs replacing but I've still got to check the fault codes. Do these vary between the models or am i safe to just ask the wrecker for one that looks like mine?
I was able to get the tacho...
Thanks,
The speedo doesn't move at all and the 'O/D OFF' light flashes, does that mean i need to replace 'A'? or could it still be 'B'?
I might unplug 'A' tomorrow and take it for a drive to see if it still changes gears. If so am i safe to assume thats the one thats broken, if not i'll...
Jacked the car up to look at the speedo sensor. Which ones its it, A or B?
A is located on the passenger side.
B located on the drivers side.
Or is it something else?
