My Samurai speedo doesn't work, if I disconnect it from the transfer box to see where it's broken will the oil run out? Thanks

No mate it won't run out of where the speedo cable goes.

Thanks, just thought I better check with it being connected below the oil level. Cheers

Unfortunately it's not the cable, the flat drive for the cable is turning freely, how easy is it to change the speedo drive pinionor worst case scenario it's the driver, gulp!

Did you actually check the other end is spinning? if its broken in the middle, the tbox end can spin fine but the other end will stay put

Yeah, dragged the Mrs in the garage to check,
Took the drive pinion out and it looks fine so it's the worst case scenario - the worm is worn out !! I can just see inside and there is definitely a large groove worn in the gear .
Can the worm be changed without taking the TB out and stripping it down ?
