   Hi Everyone
   well I'm a newbie to the site and I am totally amazed at all the info thats on here!
   Anyway to my problem :-( I've just bought a 1.1 forte and when I turn the ignition switch off the engine runs on for 2 or 3 seconds. Now the rev counter is stuck at 1000rpm and the speedo does n't work. I've looked on the forum and disconnected the battery as suggested, re-connected it all and bingo rev counter works fine, but as soon as I turn the ignition switch off it sticks again and engine runs on. Does anyone think engine run on and sticky rev counter are connected, is there a speed sensor somewhere?
   Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
   Thanks
   Luca

   might be something run with the dash? which would then involve the dash board having to be took out.
