if i was you i would be going to an independant garage, and not the dealer! as for getting the parts needed, well what about putting a secondhand speedo on it? dealers are all well and good when its a brand new vehicle but they simply have to get a part off the shelf and fit it, no way would i have paid them £180 for what they have done, anyone half decent could have told you what was wrong in under 5 mins.

Go to an independent garage & do some searching. The Speedo cable went on our old VW T4 (I think it was 25 years old at the time), I found somewhere doing copy parts (Europe or Yorkshire, can’t remember but not China) & my independent engineer fitted it. It was slightly different: the original was one cable, the replacement came in 2 parts- or was it the other way round? I only paid the indy garage for labour which was much less than a VW garage.

Once vehicles are out of current production main dealers are unhelpful. Possibly get the parts from a breaker often find parts on EBay. But first of all you need to establish what has actually failed . Could be the gear drive for speedo on the gearbox. Or could be the cable. Or the speedo head. If the speedo head be careful when buying used as some are advertised from Other countries are in KMH and not MPH.

But it's not a scrap motorhome you're looking for, it's a Peugeot with the same engine.

Hello thanks again for taking the time to reply ive just got my peugeot vista back from peugeot garage they say the cable from the back of my speedo in cab to the gear box is ok but they couldnt check the part that screws into the gear box as the mechanic said the screw felt that if he tried to loosen it wasnt budging and was worried about snapping it as they couldnt get the part to replace it and advised i go to a "specialist"garage and see if they can get the part or they said if i got the part they would fit it but they couldnt get the part themselves ?basically passing the buck to me but im not a mechanic and i dont no what part will fit any suggestions would really help as im at a loss as ive just been to a garage and explained the issue and they are also saying if i get the part then they would fit it?

In the gearbox there are small plastic gear on the output shaft that drive the cable. On all makes of vehicles they do wear out. Hence nowadays most speedos are electrically operated. Check this for the year.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166664238127?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&ca........
