Hi, I have just bought a C3 1.4 non abs and my one has this problem. The speedo is at 0, heavy steering and cuts out at junctions. The person I got it from said it needs a new ecu. My code reader said speed sensor so i got one from breakers and no luck. Iv also tried putting a new earth on the back of the display and still nothing. Has any one done a fix for this fault as I can't see a solution anywhere. I would like to be sure first before committing to buying a ecu and lock set. Many thanks.

I am not aware of a solution on the site. But don't forget there is a whole loom from the sensor to the ECU.
