The most common fault is a dry/damaged/broken drive cable, the symptoms ranging from reading slower than actual speed through uncontrolled needle swing to no operation at all. Slow reading or swing can be cured by oiling the cable. Disconnect from the speedo end and pour a small amount of engine oil between the inner and sheath of the cable. move the inner cable up and down in the outer to distribute the oil. Check the squareness of the protruding inner cable, push it fully home so it engages with the gearbox drive and try to turn it. It should not turn. To replace the cable completely disconnect the drive cable from the centre of the speedo and where it attaches to the gearbox. Follow the routing of the old cable with the new cable, thus avioding kinks, traps or impossible angles that will impede the function of the cable. Connect the cableat both ends then secure it with the body fastenings previously removed.
If the speedo head has failed, the only remedy is to buy a new or second hand one. Unsrcew and release the present instrument pack, twist and remove the broken speedometer and replace with the new one. Then simply screw everything back into place. It is often more cost effective and certainly easier to replace the entire instrument pack.
