My speedo works perfectly insofar as it's reasonably accurate and needle doesn't jump or wobble at any speed - nice smooth action however it has a very annoying whining rattle commensurate with speed (obviously I suppose!) - so, I have a replacement cable which I will fit however would like to assess members experience as to whether this has a good / high chance of fixing the racket or is it more likely to be the clock drive itself?
TIA

From previous experiences of wonky speedos, new cable usually does the trick.

9 times out of 10 it’s the cable, you could try and push the original cable in the engine bay towards the instruments and see if that makes any difference?
