You have to spin it and it should just go up but then fall again

yeh... or when you came to a halt the speedo will keep reading a speed lol

[chris_sri]

lol your funny! should the cog bit in the gearbox move round freely or should it be a bitch to move round after the bolts out obviouslylol

[Welsh Dan]

It shouldnt move freely.

The rightmost gear in this pic is what drives the speedo, you can see the speedo cog at the top of it, undo the bolt and pull the speedo pickup out of the gearbox and check that its not broken.
