93 pajero with dash board problem

[gkyy]

Hello everybody

I own a 93 pajero, currently my pajero is making some noises from the dashboard area, can I ask has anyone been through some similar prolem?

can you specify on the noises? rattling?

older cars usually rattle and make noises behind the dash as they age and things start loosening up ( or coming undone)

I'm lucky in this area, 330k and not a single noise

though try to listen where the noise is coming from and start dismantling the dash near that location.

Could be the speedo cable that comes from the gear box. It dries out and makes a noise. An indication of the bad cable is a jerky needle. Pull the dash out and pour a light machine oil down the cable. This fixed mine two years ago.

Think the NJ model were electronic speedo, so no cable.
NH models had cable.

how on earth did you manage to remove the white plastic socket that attaches to the dash from the end of the speedo cable? i can't for the life of me get it off, I see 2 plastic release tabs on the inside but nothing happens when they are pushed in.

how do you get this off?
