well wen i bought the VL Calais the speedo wasnt workin then wen i looked under the car at the box the thread was broken off the speedo sender unit. i just bought a new sender unit and i havnet got anything else just a speedo cable with nothing to connect it to the Speedo sender unit. i asked darkstar but he wasnt sure so i though id put up a thread and see wat any1 else has to say.
