What sort of dickhead would pay $175 for handbrake cables?
Thats extortionate.

holy fuck i know i needed one when i did my rear disk conversion (this was in 2010) which model of car did you ask for cables for? i know if you mention gti you'll be murdered for price. use satria xls
 

the dealership i bought my parts from no longer operates on the GC but i know i paid 60 bucks for it i did have to wait on it though.
grab the proton part number for it and see a mitsu dealer proton parts have the same part numbers as mitsu (they sometimes changed the MB to a proton specific letering but the numbers are the same for most parts.

Hi guys.

My Tacho issues continue.

I think I have a faulty / intermittent ignition module.

I traced the white & black wire from the module to the dash (no breaks in any wires) but my tacho is still not functioning correctly.

Sometimes it works, sometimes not (more on the not side)

I purchased another complete WORKING dash ( I saw it working) yet I have the same issues.

I have set my multi meter to V~ 200, probed the WHITE module wire (red on meter and black on negative battery) and I was getting a reading of 01.2 to 01.3 on a cold engine (idling high of course) and it increased with engine revs and lowered to 00.8 at idle when engine was warm.

It seemed to be correctly showing my rpm.

I switched it off, called my son out to show him, started it up and it was all good.

Switched it off again and put the dash back in and the tacho wasn't working.

Now my reading is only 00.4 on idle, with or without the dash installed.

I did get a 00.8 at times but just a quick flicker, nothing constant.

The Black/white (VB switched 12v) is showing 13.5 v at idle and 12.45 with ignition on only so it's not a lack of voltage.

It seems the trigger inputs are only reading half of the expected rpm which isn't enough for the tacho to function.

I'm off to purchase a cheap Tacho from from Supercheap and see if that works.. if I find one cheap enough ...

I'll let you know the results.

Cheers

Rick.

Mine is the same. Gti dash in a jumbuck. But mine works more often than not. The tacho drives are basically as you say. They are the coil triggering voltage. In some cases (waste fire) they combine the 2 triggering voltages and send that to the tacho.
But, I was playing with a cb lancer, and you could definately get a tingle from the tacho wire. But, that tacho didn't work, so maybe it was a faulty tr unit also. I think it was around 50v ac in its tacho drive wire.

So, interested in your results.
