The speed sensor for the tach is located on the RH side of the engine
on the bellhousing cover plate (near turbocharger). Check your fuses
too.
Your best bet to repair the odometer is to just purchase a good used
speedo head. Various people (on this list) can sell you one for a
reasonable price and it will save you the headache was rigging your
old one. It is very easy to set the mileage on the replacement
speedo. In instances where you are replacing a speedometer/odometer,
federal law allows you to set the mileage one time. Of course, you
can do whatever you want since it is your car, but the honorable
thing to do... blah blah blah.
