Try disconnecting the solenoid on the rack,could be the problem.

Also if you have a speedo convertor fitted this can cause problems too!

is yours a jap import, does your speedo work ok, going thru same prob even replaced speed sensor, turns out to be dodgy converter

Yours will be speed sensor on the gearbox, about a ton from a trader 5 min to fit :duffer:

really is this the only thing it can be? or could it be the speed converter bloody thing doing my nut in :mad:

Could be the converter but more likely than not its the sensor.

yehs mines a jap and the speedo works fine and i dont have a converter fitted,its just the rev counter that wont work when the power steering does.
