Hi all, my first post on the forum, unfortunately born out of necessity!
I have a 1989 Renault 19 TSE, 1397cc with five speed gearbox and 106,000 miles on the clock. Had it from new. The car just failed the MOT for a non-operational speedometer and it must have actually broken on the way to the test garage as I checked it once or twice en route! Garage contacted Renault who told them it is 'not available' so have been on the hunt but it is hard to find, registered with breaker networks, etc. Finally located a cable on ebay but it turned out to be wrong because it is only the mechanical type and my car has what is apparently an electro mechanical version with a number of wires attached to it leading to a contact block (also attached to the cable) at the instrument panel end. Not sure if this is something to do with the trip computer, which I think was a new feature on my model.
Therefore desperately seeking a replacement cable or else will have to scrap the car. So far drawing a blank with breakers and internet as apparently 19's were relatively rare compared to other models. Does anybody know of any other source I might try, i.e., specialist Renault breakers, etc? Would be grateful for any advice offered as car still runs quite well and would be sad to see it go for something so minor.
Many thanks
