Not heard of any way but as it's knackered anyway, why not tear it apart and see if you can fix it?

Mine broke a couple of years ago, stone or whatever shattered the casing, I tried wrapping it in cling film which was okay until it rained really hard! Unfortunately I had to order a spare from Italy which had a delivery forecast somewhere into the next millenium...as an interim I fitted a Halford cycle computer to the front wheel (just goes down to m/cycle wheel radius) this worked okay but stops reading at 130 mph must be some bloody fast cyclists out there!!!

I have fixed mine......I think
The 3 wires are soldered on at the sensor end, carefully cut away the rubber from the end where the wires go in and de solder the wires making a note of which wire goes to what terminal.
Now the tricky bit the cable on the outside is fine but the wires inside are ****, corroded and unsolderable, I ended up cutting half the cable away till I found good wire, so I had to extend the wires from the sensor to where I cut the cable , I then rejoined the 2 halves with heatshrink crimp connectors, then wrapped the whole lot in 2 layers of insulation tape....................not pretty but functional.

Speedo sensor
Mine went after being soaked with the wash out last summer..Bought one on ebay £16 works fine, also bought a spare one (ebay) £20..So they're not expensive.Believe there's some for sale now on there.
