It hasn't done the usual and dissconected its self from the gear box, or snapped the cable, so it looks like it may b a problem with the speedo dive in the gearbox, any1 ever had this happen to them? and can u still but the drive thing from ford

Mine packed up as it had a tight spot in it. Thought I had fixed it then it would jam again.
I got another one and swapped speedos after correcting the milage to match my cars. Was quite straightforward
