take your foot off the accelerator then.

[flatty]

forgot to say... even with the ignition off and the key out it stays at this?!?!?!

Just a guess but have you put after market faces on which might not be sitting right and is tight against the needle.

Just a thought Garith.

[Adriansturgess]

With the amount of vibration going on I reckon you were doing 180mph...:bandit
Actually around 190mph I would say..

FD speedo\'s can often stick. It\'s easier to phone one of the vendors at the top, and get a replacement sent to you. It\'ll be quicker and cheaper! (I had to replace mine because it would overread)

[Adriansturgess]

Mind you even if it\'s stuck, he had to have put it there in the first place...:god

Not necassarily. when they get stuck, they sort of try and correct themselves, which means they advance on the reading. So it starts to get silly.

From what i here there is a little conection behind the face tht could b loose? Or there might be something stuck on the face tht is stopping movement!! Dunno if this helps?
