Hiya guys,just wondering if anyone has had this problem, the cars a j reg clio 1.8 16v and at low speeds (0-40mph) the speedo needle wobbles around the desired speed. If you raise the speed say 40 - 60mph its fine and doesnt fluctuate any more? Any ideas would be much appreciated. Cheers. Paul

fecked cable mate.

you'll proberbly find that someone has tried to pull it out at some point ad ended up pulling the end off it. (which will still be in the box)

then they will have stripped the cable and shoved it back in just to get it working.

TBH if it works, its not that big a problem.

Have a look at THIS. I think the speedo wobble is quite common on clios, but I'm not surew with yours as you say it's fine over a certain speed.
