[Peugeot-L] 405 speedo just died...again! One piece or two piece cable?

Hey all,

On Cape Cod this weekend, after several days of STELLAR post-brake job work (from my buddy Paul Stein...fantastic work), I was cruising towards the beach and the speedo needle was VERY wiggly....came back out after a couple of beers at a local place, and the speedo was dead. Ugh...

I had the cable replaced six years ago when I first got the car and it was the two piece one. Needless to say, my car needs a new oil level sender, so I ordered that and what Western Hemispheres says is a one piece speedo cable now that replaces the two piece one...it also requires a cruise control sensor at the gearbox if I want the cruise to work. All pieces are on their way, though I can return them if it turns out the cable just popped loose or something.

Is the two piece cable a bad design? What causes them to fail like this? This is twice in 6 years....

Cheers,
Paul Hughes
'89 Mi16, now with permanent 91K...until the cable is fixed!
