Yeah i had the same prob after i'd taken out my set of clocks, the cable was jus kinked up behind the dash. Yoinked it gently from the engine side and a lot of excess came out! All fine now :thumbs:

even tho my old corsa is gone, its still valuable :lol:

ok cable comes out of bulkhead here (the top cable)



and is attached to the gearbox by this plug



just turn it anti-clockwise to loosen/remove from the 'box

were abouts on the gearbox is the speedo cable???? i think i may need to take it of anyway as theirs a constant clicking from speedo when driving so may need to loosen the cable

chop off a few fingers then reach around the back, above the cable is a clip thing, push/pull this toward the speedo itself and remove the cable :thumbs:
