4x4 saph i spose?

If so, its most likely the multi-plugs on the bulkhead, just above the engine,

dry them out and make sure they are all clean and connecting with each other nicely.

thats the place i would start

If not it could be the rev counter itself, it is only a voltmetre, with a different scale.

my 4x4 does it every so often as said above, multi plugs clean with electrical spray not wd40 should really do away with plugs and solder together.
