Default Jaguar XJ6 series 3

Hi everyone here,
I am new to this forum.
I have bought a Jaguar XJ6 series 3 recently for myself as my first dream car.
It has some bits to work on so i am starting on my journey to repair and replenish the car by myself now.
First thing I really need to repair is my speedometer, it doesn't work at all but the odometer is Working.
Would anyone know what should I do for the first step, should I take it apart and see what going on inside? Or should I change the actual speedometer?

​​​​​​I am a newbie to car but I am willing to learn so if anyone has any ideas about it, please give me a hand

Hi and welcome aboard.

Series IIIs are great cars. Built like tanks and drive like velvet.

Best to post technical questions in the model-specific sections ad make sure to include the year

Cheers

Welcome to the Forums.

What part of our Island is home to you?

Also the year of the beast will help a lot.

I suggest a re-ask in the XJ6/12 (S1/2/3) Tech Section. Doug in Seattle will see it, and he is the S3 Guru in my Opinion.

Good luck.

Welcome to the forums Vanessa,

Good to have you with us.

We try to avoid lengthy technical solutions in the Intro forum so I've moved your speedometer question and the replies to a new thread in XJ6 & XJ12 Series I, II & III forum. Here's the direct link to it:
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...orking-232976/

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...s-i-ii-iii-16/ to the main XJ6 & XJ12 Series I, II & III forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the Australia - New South Wales Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/a...-wales-act-93/ to find other members in your region.

I've added vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. If you want to change these, go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
