First thing to check needs to be the instrument panel contacts....pop the instrument panel out (easy job), clean the contacts and ensure its correctly re-fitted...
Heres the instrument panel guide:

;D hi thanx for the advice took clocks out cleaned all connecters put back together and still the same but by chance i pushed lightly on the topof the clock face and the speedo worked as soon as i let the slight pressure off haywire again so i think the connection at the top of the plug that the clock slot into has to be brought forward to insure that it is a good connection am i correct in this please thanx agaim for ya advice very much appreciated
