Dropped my box out this morning, and it looks brand new
Stripped it anyway and rebuilt it and the speedo works fine now for some reason
When i took the gearstick gaitor off, there was oil all around the cover, and that was all i found wrong other than a little wear on the speedo drive which must be the cause of my mad speedo.
Not bad for a £70 rebuild and 14,000 miles of 500 brake abuse
