Flickering Speedo Needle
As title. Just noticed my Speedo needle has a very slight flicker at night, so slight as to be hardly noticeable.
Is this at all ominous? Should I be researching instrument cluster repairers? 🫣I’m a Disco 4 believer. What a vehicle!

I guess it's lit with a little LED. LED's do tend to flicker when they are dying. Perhaps it'll go out completely, then you can decide if it bothers you or not.Richard

Thanks Richard.
I guess I'll probably leave well alone.
As long as the needle works during the day, although I tend to use the digital speed readout far more than the analog needle anyway.....

Mine flickers very slightly sometimes. And I recently noticed the "r/min x 1000" text on the rev counter do it. But most of the time they don't.

Just had one done by Totaltronics that had a flickering needle and the x1000rpm section. £180 and back within 3 days fixed.
