what could be the reason for eating speedo cables??? the cable is in the right way i.e. in the right position all the way upto the speedo?

it aint just cool its aircool'd
Rhys,
I take it You are replacing the complete cable and not just the inner part.
I find the way the cable runs isn't really a smooth way to do it... its very easily to have a kink or bend in the cable and then the inner part binds and eventually snaps.
What I have done Rhys, is pour some oil down the inside of the cable... You can only do a few drops at a time, but it has to make a difference... try it and see what happens. I always lubricate everything that moves in a car....
If its lubricated, the cable will be hard to bind or kink and break....
cheers .... Lee

Hi
The speedo itself can start to jam and will break cables.
