Probably the cable is damaged - or perhaps just running 'dry'. Take the inner out and inspect it - and if it looks ok - a thin smear of grease (but not on the top 12") and slide it back down the outer and reconnect. You can test the speedo with a reverse running electric drill....

I changed mine today (only cost about £6 and was really simple). Its made the world of difference and speed cameras are nowhere near as scary a prospect...
