I've got a Smiths tacho in my Bug, always seems to be very floaty and it sticks at '0' all the time, have to tap the face to free it. Mates got a temp gauge in his Mini and it sucks donkey balls, that gets stuck and bounces occasionally too.

Can just about see what I mean here if you fullscreen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k_o_J6ksRU

I have heard of some stange (temp) readings on kit cars.

Very high but consistently high so OK once you can get your head around looking it.
