The speedo stopped working on my friends RRC ('88). Has anyone dealt with this before? I wanna get an idea before I take it apart for her.

Yup- the cable is old and the grease prolly wore thin. make sure you get one for that year specifically as the input on the pinion gear into the t-case changed sizes a few times. also check this: http://rangerovers.net/rremedies.htm#speedo

Yeah, that's what I thought. I sold my classic a few years ago, so I wasn't quite sure.
Thanks a lot.

It could also be what I believe they call the "right angle drive" for the cable. Basically where the cable inputs into the speedo on the dash. PIA to fix but I think normally the needle will bounce around if that's the problem.

My 87 RTR has a 2 piece speedo cable set-up. Speedo gauge started acting up (wouldn't roll the miles over just would "click"). Took it apart numerous times and rebuild (unsuccesfully).
Bit the bullet and bought a new speedo with the cables (2) and the right angle drive gear thingy. Now she works. FYI - even with 140K, the cables and right angle gear thingy were not in that bad of condition, but now I have a working speedo and piece of mind.
Now I gotta sell her, too many toys in the garage.
