nevins Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Sounds like the converter is on its way out mate. Another sign is a haunted needle bouncing off the clocks in a very random manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveR Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 My missus' Ford Focus does this - no one's been able to come up with a reason why, yet. I realise that's no help at all, but if you do find out, be sure to let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham S Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 My missus' Ford Focus does this - no one's been able to come up with a reason why, yet. I realise that's no help at all, but if you do find out, be sure to let us know! Dude, done hundreds of these, its the transducer! It's the bit that plugs the gearbox with a plug on the top of it! Did one just yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 3000rpm is about 93 ish lol In a manual? What diff? Seems a bit out to me. 3000rpm is about 80-85 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 In a manual? What diff? Seems a bit out to me. 3000rpm is about 80-85 for me. slightly less than that, should be 75-80mph in 6th at 2950 revs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Yeah was just guessing Gaz, hadn't checked via GPS, only the speedo itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
