Speedo stuck?

[Chesney84]

Alright chaps, first minor issue since I bought the car on Friday, drove to work this morning and the speedo stuck at 85mph, then stayed there until I came off the dual carriage way and slowed to around 30mph where it suddenly jumped back down and started reading again? Any idea's guru's? Cheers!

Private road of course ;)

It you remove the front cover does it stick still? Wouldn't be wire related as it will return back to 0 if that is playing up.

Unfortunatley this is quite a common issue - you should feel lucky that the speedo was even working at all :laugh:

Just start with checking all the wiring connections. Take them off, Make sure they are clean and connected properly, follow the wiring checking for any damage

There are three connections - behind the clocks, on the passenger strut tower and on the gearbox itself under the rear engine mount, with the gearbox connection, there is a securing clip to help hold it in place make sure thats present and fitted properly too.
