Don't have to jack the car up. Take your air filter hospusing out if you have one and you should be able to get to it no problems.

Tbh I don't think they clean up. I think it's a internal fault but it's worth a try! There easy to get hold of if you need a new one and I think there even quite cheap from pug. Let me know if you want me to have a look if you don't have service box.

Sounds to me like a faulty wire down by the back of the engine. Time to get the multimeter out!

or it could be the plastic ribbon on the back of the dials with the copper tracks in, i have the same with my rev counter and speedo...sometimes you have dials, other times you don't.
I just need to get a set of broken dials so i can peel the plastic ribbon off with copper tracks in it...all my sensors and woring seem ok!
the smokey old bus that sounds like a tractor...

That's a good point. Very easy to check if you have a multimeter!

Hmm didn't read that. That is weird and weird normally means earth fault!
Check your bay earths. There's one on the box right near the speedo sensor. Also below the accelerator pedal. Give them all a good clean and check for broken wiring.

The fault isn't causing the loss in power, the lack of speedo is causing the lack of power. Im assuming that the map needs to know the speed as one of the variables to determine how much fuel to inject. So when it doesn't know the actual speed, it goes to a "default" map, kinda when the maf sensor dies, it reverts back to a default map. That's what i assume is happening

No they won't be. Speed sensor goes to the ecu and dials get there Info from the ecu.
