Free speedo check !

Aha! I will try this on my old Land Rover when the weather improves -
hadn't thought of the cable being the culprit.
Mine waived around but then stopped close to it's top speed of about 40 mph.
Okay, 35 mph.
In this case the needle must have jammed as well. I recall all that's inside
those speedos is a magnet that rotates and a needle that tries to follow it,
attached to a weak coiled spring. Something to do on the kitchen table in
winter.... but too cold now to take it off!
Eric must be snowed in by now, up in them hills?
