Speedometer not working how do you fix on rover 75?

Check the cable to see if it is connected if all is well you could possibly need a new one In Ford's..sometimes the speedometer cable might need lubed as it gets older instead of replacing the whole speedometer. Outside the passenger compartment firewall inside the engine compartment under the hood near the driver's side, you might see where the cable comes out and connects to the cable going to the wheel. A lot of times you can disconnect this connection and drop oil down the cable and that will solve a speedometer which varies while driving.

My speedometer on your 1995 Honda accord is stuck on 20 and then works normally for awhile until it decides to stick again What is wrong with it?

Chances are you have a steel cable running from the speedometer to the transmission. Over time the cable gets dry. I had this happen on my 80 accord long ago. So I pulled out the cable and lubed it with grease and it worked fine after that. You can try spraying it with WD40 and see if that helps.
