Hi everyone,
Just happened on the site as I was desperate to find out more about Speedo Problems on my 2001 Boxer.
I was so pleased to see that this seems to be a common problem and would like any up to date information. Just been to my local garage and was told to correct the problem the gearbox has to come out with a charge of £1200. Gulped and decided to look for some thoughts around or find a cheaper mechanic.
I look forward in all of your comments in the future on different subjects.

Water ingress into the gearbox is known to knock out syncromesh and speedo drives on ducato vans of that age and im guessing boxers as well. I may be wrong but i think they are nearly the same van .
The first thing i would do in your position would be to subscribe to the forum costs 15 quid a year but you will get that back many times over in advice and discounts and possible solutions to your problem.
Just my opinion

Just use a sat nav for the speedo!

More accurate anyway.

Hello and welcome to the Fun!

Probably best to start a new thread in one of the technical sections. (dont know whether you can see them or not as a newbie) as you will certainly get better brains than mine on your subject.
My plan would be to change the speedo cable ! (i m suspecting that speedo cables dont even exist!)
Anyway welcome to the site and enjoy
