On Saturday I set off on the Mongol Rally, 8-9000miles a third of the way round the world in Sanchez the Rascal and I have just found out that my speedometer doesn't work, the cable coming out of the gearbox had split, so I am now in desperate search for a cable, with the little spinny bit on the end. So the whole cable from end to end
Does anyone have one? I will pay for the fastest possible courier service, or can collect at the last minute on friday afternoon from london or somewhere along the M1.
Could do with it A for speed cameras, and B- so we can log our miles in their glorious entirety.
Thankyou in hopeful advance
Ben

Can't help you with a cable but if you don't find one in time take a sat nav. It will show you how fast you are going and the amount of miles your journey is.

I would mate but we'd get arrested for it in Russia, sat navs count as spying material! We were gutted when we found out, they won't work in Kazakhstan anyway Sad

Secondhand one on ebay if you really get stuck.

Sellers feedback rating is not overgood though.

I saw that one on Ebay, it looks like an accelerator cable though,
I've been in touch with a lady who may have one, I'll see what she says and if we have no luck I'll ring bedfordrascal.
Thanks for keeping an eye out!

Have you tried findapart.co.uk They have a phone number you can call but I think it's a premium rate number.. If not, there is a guy called Derek that is a rascal expert in Essex. His number is 0787 961 5056 He is a lovely bloke as Mattyc will testify. If he doesn't have one, he may well know where you can get one in a hurry.
I hope you get sorted...
