Six months ago I purchased a Holden Vectra 2000 model. 2.2 litre four cylinder 5 speed manual. The car has done 78 000km and has been maintained perfectly.

The car was/is still driving beautifullly. About 3 weeks ago the instruments on the dashboard (speedo. tacho etc) were momentarily failing and then returning to normal. When this happened the check engine light would also flash.

This happened every couple of days and I have been unable to notice any other common patterns. This is now happening more frequently and the check engine light is staying on for longer.
PLEASE HELP

We need the OBD2 code/s-speedo. tacho etc) sounds like the the vehicle speed sensor is acting up.
