I was thinking about fitting a new cable myself (after a few good long blasts and before the next MOT) and looked at the "workshop manual" but there's no mention of the cable at all.
How difficult is it? On a late model 1600 Junior, the 2000 look-a-like
I think it's often the actual dials which conk out. They often come up on Ebay though. You could take the cable out of the back of the speedo, stick some tape on it (like a flag) and drive around. If the tape is whirling round, there's nothing wrong with the cable! I'm not sure on the 105, but the speedo cable is usually driven from the gearbox so worth looking in that section of your manual.
I had a look "in me book" last night.
The speedo cable exits the gearbox just above the removable gearbox mount.
It's one of the spikey bits at the back: http://www.classicalfa.com/shop/images/gearbox1.gif
Is it a dash out job to get to the back of the dials?
Not sure on the 2000 dash if you need to take the whole lot out to get to the back of the speedo. Can you stick your hand up the back past the steering column?
