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?

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.
