Rev counter needle jumping around !

(1/2) > >>

diff-breaker:
My Discovery 300tdi rev counter seems to have fits and intermittantly jumps around instead of a smooth up or down.
Has anyone got any suggestions why this could be ? Simple fix or auto electricain job ? Hope someone can  help. :roll:

Sounds like a faulty connection to the alternator..............check the connections and give it a squirt of WD40 thats what works for me

auf_wiedersehen_pet:
What a coincidence, I asked this question a few weeks ago.

I fixed it tonight by replacing the connector on the "W" terminal - grey/white wire. Works perfectly. Careful you don't chop off too much wire as it's quite short already.

Mine was playing up a while ago
Brand new female spade connector on the alternator soon fixed it
 :D

Way to go ! It never ceases to amaze me that I ask seemingly numpty questions and get sensible answers with no mickey takes !
Thanks for the responses -think this weekend will be spent playing under the bonnet and correcting my over-steering problem. :clap:
