Tacho

The sender unit is on the timing case cover. If you are looking at the engine front on it is on the lower left hand side.

i have a feeling that when this issue was previously brought up here one of the MQ gurus (kingy or screwy) reckoned there wasn't a sensor to connect it to.

do a little maths to work out what rpm you're doing at what speed in what gear, and that's all you'll ever need to know. they love 20km/h 1st, 40km/h 2nd, and 60-70km/h 3... at least mine does, it'll drive up the biggest hills at half throttle without a puff of smoke at those speeds...

First 3 years of the SD33 doesn't have a tacho, after this period they get a clock. MK onwards came out with tacho. Patchy if you've seen a MQ with one in I would be suggesting it has been retro'ed
