Rev Counter Sticking

[The-Acre]

Anyone had this?

Sometimes my rev counter doesn't work for the first hundred yards and then suddenly springs up! Doesn't happen often.

Cheers

Yes it is a known fault,apparently the lubrication on the needle shaft can cause it,it's a case of taking out the dash,accessing the needle and using a cotton bud to soak up the excess oil off the needle shaft.

Or you could do what I used to do...

A hefty smack on the top of the dashbord cluster.

That sounds slightly more violent that Steve's cotton bud remedy but thank you both.
