V,
Check the cable has not just popped out of ethier end first,if not the cable is more fiddley than hard to replace,if that is the problem [?]
It should be located into the gearbox by a single screw/bolt,then into the back of the speed by a press clip IIRC.
When it off it should be quite easty to see for sure its (the cable)snapped.
TBH i would be surprised if the garage would have to touch the speedo cable (depending on its route) and its possible it was just reached the end of its working life at the wrong time.

Hi there anybody who can help.

a local garage I visited (and never again) fixed a ripped bulk head problem where the clutch cable enters (common problem I think)and also a gearbox linkage.... this is where they damaged something either on the speedo cable or something else nearby... they attempted to fix it, it worked for about 30 mins (although it was all over the place) and then died and has never worked since...

My problem here is they won't take responsibility for it and I'm stuch without a speedo reading, which in a way is wuite good as my rocco is now not clocking any miles up.

How easy is it to replace the speedo cable (assuming that is whats damaged)? and what exactly do I need to do?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
