Its a great old thing for sure, 4w/d works great on the dash switch, in fact this is its only problem, I get by using gear lever like a manual and when speedo not working I change it up down on the 123 gear lever .
No one seems to know much about it either and seem baffled to what it is
Or any one got a senser maybe.
Thanks all. Brian.

My r3mR had an intermittent speedo fault where it would give no reading for a 5-30 seconds then would work again. I traced my fault to a poor connection where the big multi-plug connects to the back of the dashboard / instrument cluster. After a lot of fiddling I ended up packing the side of the wiring loom so it pressed into the plug better. I suspect there was a broken wire in the loom near the speedo but TBH without a reliable wiring diagram jamming the cable in a different position did the trick for the remaining years I owned it. A bit of a bodge but it worked. Picture attached courtesy of Google maps & to remind me of what a great truck she was!
