Had started to get a few nights of stars..but have a man cold..had my portable array in the boot for when I get clear skies..my speedo chucked it, got a second hand speedo but needed coded in so I bought the vag com diagnostic kit to do it myself rather than pay somebody to do it..blooming thing started working again on its own accord.. waits till I spend nearly £100 on the stuff..great motor ok again spoke too soon clonking appeared back on drivers front..just put a new cv joint on it three weeks ago..ordered a full driveshaft, I think its the inner joint thats away..no ment to drive this piggin car.. so my wee savings are taking a dunt and my astronomy project is on hold for now. skywatcher heritage vituossa/ mak 90 Using the mount to carry four sammies hopefully

I was wondering about 'Speedos' too. My first thought was 'why do we need to know about your tight little Budgie Smugglers?" lol!!!
I hope you get this car sorted soon.

Yeah ken ..car is doing my head in..must have been high resistance in a connection for speedo(tachometer) not to work the clonking is a concern get it on a ramp and can see nothing..its a weird noise ..not your usual wheel bearing or gbox noise...im hoping its the inner cv joint on the driveshaft, changed the outer cv joint and noise went away..so I think removing the shaft moved something in inner joint..full shaft was cheaper than the cv joint I just put on it..the joys.

Budgie smugglers is the Australian slang term for Speedo bathers made famous(Infamous) by our prime minister ,Tony Abbott. That's why Ken enjoyed the little joke and you Northern Hemisphere folks were probably wondering what we were on about. Tony is the guy on the right in the red budgies and the guy on the left was the former premier of Victoria ,Ted Baillieu. The black budgies are faster . .

. . . and just in case any Northern Hemisphere people STILL don't get the joke about Speedo's, they are called 'Budgie Smugglers' because it looks like you are 'smuggling a Budgie' down the front of them
