We had a similar problem in our Peugeot 406 with a different meter and the problem was with the speed sensor on the car.

Unfortunately there are several different ways to connect the pulse wire (normally yellow if I remember right). Where it is connected varies according to vehicle and fitter. First try the power plug attached to the back of the radio. In most modern motors pulse is supplied to one of the terminals there (for the type of radio where the volume goes up with vehicle speed, My VW has this pulse terminal, but not the fancy radio) many meter installers use this. Failing that, try near the gearbox or the back of the speedo. Also check ABS wires as I've seen those used as well.
Where ever it is attached it will be joined with a connector of some sort (electrical tape sometimes :roll: ) to another wire.

If it doesn't work or you cant find it, it's a trip to your meter man.

Best of luck

might be worth getting the connections soldered or the wires run to the fuse box

Yes, better get out and make up some of the dosh you lost yesterday. As Skippy says it may be worth soldering the connections so it doesn't happen again :D
