Nonetheless, if you want to open it up and have a look here's some help (the
List will strip the attachment). I haven't seen this failure mode, but it
sounds as if the disk that drives the dial--by magnetism--is sticking.
Possibly, the dial is hanging up inside the case.
Alan's right; there's fiddly bits in there but it's not impossible if you're
patient and careful with the small parts. The operation of the speedo is
self-evident once you get inside. There are parts available, but you'll need
to
search a bit.
I'd make sure the right-angle drive and/or cable aren't the problem first.
