Is the needle 'twitching' or has it stopped moving! If its twitching, its normally caught on something, or the square drive on the end of the inner cable has worn off. If its stopped, maybe the cable has broken.
Getting to the back of the dash is real hard, harder to figure out the wee catch you have to trigger behind the dashboard though.
Normally they are easy to fix if the place has the right gear (crimper) & stock (inners & outers).
On my Cortina the end of the inner wore thru, I swapped the ends of the inner to fix that. I think the bit where it fits into the gearbox was broken (the ali around the socket had broken) & that let the outer cable slip out a bit & get offline with the gearbox. That put pressure on the inner, which wore out.

"im expecting $5 a gallon in 2013"

$5 US Dollars! That's what - about NZ$7! A Gallon is ~4l or so So $7 for 4l - $1.75/litre So petrol will be cheaper in 2013! Sweet, I'm gonna buy a V8.

Time to sell the coon I think. Just as well my 5l/100km Peugeot 406 Tdi is in the driveway with a buggered speedo/odometer. Buggered if I know how to fix it either.

Yeah right. People who can't afford to drink and smoke still drink and smoke regardless of the price.

Do you people realise that a us gallon is smaller than the gallon measure we are use too. 1 us gallon = 3.78 litres 1 nz gallon= 4.54 litres

I drive jap imports myself, and when I see other jap imports in front of me, I just overtake them.or is your euro car not capable of achieving this!

We have middle men we have to pay to get our petrol , US dont. Why our government likes to take it up the ass with everything is beyond me

Price will drop come winter as US heating oildemand drops . Unless the oil cartel is colluding to fix priceso BP can pay the Billion $ in fines to US government for the enviromental damage from gulf oil spill .Na they wouldnt do that!

when oil was $147.00usd per barrel, we were paying $2.30nzd per litre, and the mericans were paying just over $3.00 usd per gallon
Now oil is $89.00usd per barrell, and we are paying $2.00nzd per litre, and the mericans, $3.00usd per gallon!
Something doesnt add up.
