L Series Speedometer Issue

Before my recent gearbox change, I noticed my speedometer was intermittently reading very high (ie 60kph = 180kph

)

However even after the new box the same problem occurs. I have a 2" lift with a standard speedometer cable - could this be the problem? The odometer appears to read fine.

I don't fancy taking that damned dash out again (I hate those vac hoses for vent control!)

Dont need to take it out of its the cable Chris :P I was only going to take it out if it was the speedometer itself

It could be the cable if it hasnt broken but has twisted and made itself longer the cable will be pushing the inner drum against the outer drum on the speedo making it read odd amounts
