Depending on wear the cable is broken dictates how difficult it is to repair, mine was broken inside the connector and that means removing the connector's pins :( remove the rubber plug at the back carefully and see if it is broken insid eyou will have to remove the pins. you will have to experiment wish small needles to remove the clip that holds them in. then it's just a soldering job, do not use a blowtorch it makes things difficult.

That is it sorted. I must have pulled the plug out when removing the shocker, I just give it a little push in. Hey bingo its working again. Thanks for your advise, as i was a bit worried if it was the speedo clock its self. <BG>
