first post so i am hoping can help me out here.
i have a rav4 xtr on a 55 plate. today my speedometer and odometer have both stopped working. i am guessing the speed sensor has become disconnected, corroded, broken or all of the above. went to my local halfords, not much open on a bank holiday, to get a haynes manual but none in stock. can somebody kindly scan the relevent section in pdf format or similar to help me out here? any other ideas are kindly welcome.
many thanks in advance...

The speed sensor plug is near the back of the gearbox when viewed from under the bonnet - close to the drive shafts. I remember one owner had some success by pulling the plug off and squirting some WD40 or similar on it.

I'm afraid all the manual says is "undo the bolt and remove the speed sensor" so I'm afraid it wouldn't be much good sending you the pages. I think that if cleaning the plug doesn't work then changing the speed sensor is best bet.

Good luck

thanks anchorman you were spot. found it no problem, took off the plug sprayed her up reconnected and sorted.
downside of this problem is that you lose the cruise-control. the upside is that annoying alarm is not activated when driving with a dead-weight on the passenger seat for the seat-belt activation.
many thanks...

Ask your dead weight to sit in the back or put the seat belt on!!!

Glad you're sorted
