Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project soon, im still trying to fix it ;) Just spent this morning trying to figure out why its not getting a speed reading, the wire is connected (Wire from speedo cable to the pin on the ECU), originally when I tested it I thought it wasnt connected, but when...

you just have to undo the first few rows of bolts slightly to raise the cam cover at that end and you will be able to pop them out undamaged.
