Hi Everyone,good to be here.
Any thoughts on - engine management light comes on after a while associated with a flashing overdive light.
Also speedo intermittent
Any suggestions very much appreciated - local dealership no clue !

Just a guess, maybe the Vehicle Speed Sensor!! The speedo needs VSS signal to operate. The transmission needs VSS to knwo what gear to be in, hence the blinking 'OD' light, probably has a code stored. The ECM need VSS signal to properly control fuel management, hence the CEL, also will have a code in its memory too.

First step will be to pull the code with a scan tool.

N.E.O.
