guys
I have been recently having trouble with my speedo needle its OK from cold but as the car warms up esp on a warm day,the needle has a bad case of the St Vitus dance between zero kph and about 50 kph and starts doing 270s after that at a steady 50 kph upwards,its quite stable the speedo has about 24k kms from a NHS rebuild about 8 1/2 years ago my mechanic has looked at it and can't see anything obviously wrong with the cable and seems to think its a design fault somewhere does this sound like the cable or the gauge ? its becoming a bit alarming to see the needle flicker too much over to the experts TIA Dennis (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

My speedometer did the same thing. It was the cable, not the speedometer. Make sure the cable housing has no sharp curves or bends in it, and that the cable has plenty of lubricant. I discovered that my cable was very sensitive as to how much it was bending coming out of the central transmission tunnel and up to the dash and speedometer. If it wasn't "just right", the speedometer needle would jump all over the place at lower speeds.
