	i had this, my dials had to be changed too, didnt sort it, turned out to be the routing of the speedo cable, try pushing some more cable into the car form the engine bay to loosen it a bit, just needs to be nice and smooth with no tight angles and no tension in it

	Had this on one of my old cars. The problem turned out to be a dry speedo cable. Was cured by greasing the cable. Remove from engine end, pump grease down the inside of the outer cable to allow the inner cable to turn free.
