Thank you all for your responses.
I think I will try a new speedometer cable anyway as the existing one did have a bit of a kink where it passes through into the passenger compartment.
As the instrument panel is now pulled out I will follow Dave’s suggestion and look at the odometer mechanism. I did find the following website http://www.magnetic-speedometer-repair.c...ometer.php which gave me some confidence is opening up the mechanism, but I am much more attracted to Tony’s idea of letting an expert look at it.
I have been a member of the Melbourne club since July of last year and have used the excellent spares department extensively in my repairs so far, but because of family matters I have had to return to the UK twice in the past six months for a month at a time which has hampered getting the car to the stage it is now at.
I will report back in due course.
