If when the speedo drops of the car runs a bit lumpy on acceleration it will be the sensor, as the car thinks it is stationary. Mine would normally stall coming to a stop unless you blipped the throttle and also very lumpy and low revs
Ah, funny you should mention that. A couple of times I've thought it got a bit sluggish, momentarily, with the loss of speedo, but wasn't sure if it was my imagination (only happening when off throttle at v/low speed, e.g., slowing for junction/roundabout/ v. slow traffic etc). Normally, if I put my foot down again (where possible of course), the speedo picks up again and no sign of hesitancy. Well, I'll see how it goes for a bit, and if it gets worse, looks like it'll be up for a new speedo sensor then. Thanks for the tips.
All ran fine today.
