i think its electronic controlled as the ODO is digital, so you may need the sensors off the box too.

You'll find the speed signal comes from the ABS system on the DII.

A def TD5 speedo housing is all electronic & has a loom it plugs into,
The speedo is driven from a transducer (i think thats the name) in the same hole on the Tbox as a mechanical speedo,
same setup as the disco 2s & late 300's

Thats not how the Disco2's work.
As Scouse has said, the D2 is full electronic, but it picks up its signal from the ABS computer which feeds the speed signal based ona combination of the ABS sensor speeds. The Disco2 transfer (still an LT230) has no speedo outputs.
