[Mgs] Rattle in dash

[Paul Hunt]

Ordinarily I'd expect the needle to show visible fluttering if it were in 
the cable or speedo input shaft.  With the stop-start it could be the 
odometer gears 'creaking' when in a certain part of their revolution, which 
would show itself as being in time with certain digits being visible. 
Seeing if the noise is still there with the speedo disconnected would 
indicate whether it were the speedo or not, although it could also indicate 
a cable problem but just not doing it when the 'load' of the speedo is 
removed from it.  15 years could be a dry cable, one would hope one was past 
the 'infant mortality' that so often afflicts replacement parts these days 
after 10k.
