So,
It is electrical,
Dealer was less than useful and I did impress this on them at collection.
They say:
Speedo is flying across to max because the sensor that counts spinning cogs in the gearbox is 'maybe' bust, either way they are unable to test it because it's an aftermarket part.
Hilux came with a Tachograph fitted, and it seems it's own sensor,
Essentially they want £200 to 'try' a sensor and see,
I said go and pull one off a forecourt car and i'll pay labour instead and maybe save much of that,
They didn't agree, some bad words got said, I just unplugged the tacho here at home and although car drives as it should again, there's no speedo and dealers has tripped the engine light on.
I'm easily pleased normally, and it's only putting myself in the same room as people like this causes a problem so in a way I blame myself.
So in fact half fixed (the important half too)
And i'll perhaps see if I can track down a speed sensor cheaply, either that or a ninja outfir and torch for later on
