re: Milano speedo error

So you've tried the sender from the 2.5L car and it doesn't work?

Although it never made sense to me, I've been told that the sender is 
not specific to the rear end--have you tried the original sender?

To me, replacing your speedo with one from a 2.5L car doesn't seem too hard.
