Sensor is located on top of the gearbox. This is the usual Fiat place.
Sensor is easily removed. Not very expensive, about £21 inc. VAT.

The number of miles do not increase on the mileometer. Where is the sender
located?

Not sure about the radio qustion.
With regards to the speedo then this will be a process of elimination. I'm
fairly sure, like all Fiats since year 1998-2000, then there is no speedo
cable but instead there is a transducer that sends pulses to the speedo.
This means that either:
1) The sender unit has an intermittent fault. I've actually experienced
this before.
2) The connections/connectors at the geabox and speedo head end are diry or
not interfacing correctly
3) The speedo unit is on the way out. The next time the speedo next
falters, check to see if the distance meter/trip are still increasing. If
they are the this would point to a speedo unit problem.

Couple of questions regarding these cars. How is the radio removed? I
can't see where the usual radio removal tools go. I take it it does require
the usual tools? Also, has anyone who has got one of these suffered from an
erratic speedo? With the one I have, the speedo intermittently stops
working. This varies in time and then suddenly works again. Any ideas? I
suspect a faulty connection, but where to look?
