im assuming that it will have an electric speedo. It could be the electronic speedo drive on the back of the gearbox thats packing in. There not to bad to change or it could a fault in your clocks. I would try changing the speedo drive first and see what happens

Id say just get some clocks from a scrapyard and check if they work better. Just check it first (dont worry about ur milage adjustment)
