I've got a speedometer that occasionally stops working from time to
time for periods of time, then suddenly starts working again. This is
on my Audi 2.6 V6 cabriolet. Any suggestions on what or where I should
be looking at to resolve the problem?
The most annoying thing about it is that it stopped working as I set
off on a 220 mile round trip and had to hold up everyone going through
speed...

I have been offered a 1999 V70 diesel estate for Practically Nothing.
I took it on a jaunt to Cornwall last week and it was very nice to
drive. But ... what are they like for maintenance? I had a 240 before
which was pretty straightforward, but I suspect that the V70 is
significantly more complicated.
Any experiences or advice?

The dyno is down in deepest Kent.
If I can get a minimum of ten of us up for it, I can get us a rate of
£30 per car, and for this you get two runs on the dyno and a nice
shiny wipe clean laminate printout of the results.

I regularly read Honest John's pages in the Telegraph and I have

Is he a main dealer for Korean cars or on their payroll? Or are all
his readers on their last legs and want a dull car whose warranty is
longer than their own expected longevity and therefore have no
concerns about depreciation?
