Speedo speaking with forked tongue
« on: May 07, 2024, 02:25:38 PM »
As I approach 20mph and onto 30mph my speedo starts wagging within about a 5mph field, enough to cost a lot of money in London today. What might be wrong, is this something Gauge Restorers could fix?  :-\
I brake for animals!

More likely bad cable or cable route

isn't it caused by weakened magnets.  All my old gauges do this, especially on my Land Rover.
