Thanks, However, generally the car drives really well and the turbo bypass valve was replaced only a few months ago. Also the alternator was replaced only a few months ago and the belt does not seem to be slipping, at least I can't hear anything. As for the speedo, I think I will have to get the cable replaced, it is starting to annoy me.
