Volvo 480 Celebration - 1995

Hello all,

Two small faults, possibly related, because they started to happen at around
the same time:

1) The speedometer does not work.
2) When disengaging from any gear at normal speeds and dipping the clutch
(to slow down, say), the rev's drop right down and the engine almost stops
before normal idling speed is reached and the car then runs normally.

Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.

many thanks

Phil

Just checked out the link. Plenty of good advice to be had. Think i'll be
trying the stepper first. Cheers
