Sticking Rev counter
« on: 30 December 2010, 10:50:41 »
The rev counter on my MV6 sticks occasionally, is this just something these cars do by nature or is it the rev counter itself?

Mine has been doing this for the last year or so - only tends to be on acceleration, 2-4000 region, usually after cold start. Does not seem to be related to any other issue, so have just left it until I need to get to the instruments for other reasons  :y
