VDO speedo £30 from Lotusbits, S/H, might be worth seeing if its the cable 1st before changing the unit and having the incorrect mileage?, give Mike T a call i'm sure he'll be able to help out with sourcing a cable!

When my speedo cable broke, I had a new one fitted by Lotusbits (actually I think it was secondhand). The needle flickered at speeds below 30mph for a few hundred miles but eventually settled down.
