yes there is a way of knowing if a spedo has been around the clock or wound back it is visible as where to look i don't know your local vdo instrument service agent should be able to tell you where to look check for breaks in wires with a test light move wires when testing as break my be inside cable not completely broken through also mitsi's are notorious for not liking water and other electrical problems i wash out the engine bay on my car and it refused to start. clean all connections with 1200 wet and dry and contact cleaner or metho also put a little aluminox connector paste on them it seals out moisture and prevents corrosion great for battery terminals any auto electrician should have some
this car is all motor real motors don't need forced induction or nitrous and there's no substitute for cubes.
