Might be a long shot but had an issue a while back with another motor and it turned out to be the idle speed control valve. Had the same issue with the petrol guage, just didnt register half the time and the car speedo worked every now and again but the rev counter still worked fine. Also the car was a little lumpy

Not sure if, and where, the R has this though. Might be way off but worth a comment

 

is worth a look - cheers moses

 

if its only happened since the clutch has been fitted, take a look at the earth strap on the gearbox, thats a main earth and if its not tight/clean connect you can experience many faults.

 

will check that also - thanks Mark

There is also a multi-plug for the speedo on the gearbox which may have been left off by accident....this happened to me.

 

My money is on OCD Rich look down the back of the gearbox from the top 30cms or so from the gear selector and you will see the speed sensor and the plug etc

 

The earth is sweet mate, i just checked it... so is the connector on the speed sensor, i even swapped the sensor off my mates racing leon..

to see if it was that, but no joy.

Am still to check the idle speed control valve tho, so fingers crossed.

Cheers,
