keep an eye on your speedo as mine did that a couple of years ago and had to have a new chip put in for speedo costs around £75

When my rev counter played up, speedo went iffy shortly after, then alternator went, be worth just checking it's chucking out full voltage.
Have you done the fault code thing to check what the code is? Check the factsheets for a how to.

i hope its not the alternator,i had reason to go into a box/file type thing that i keep paperwork in the other day and the bit that keeps the bongo receipts in had exploded and whilst collating them i coudnt help counting some of them......scary.....im not moaning or ought but jesus.......all im saying is dont look people it will make yer eyes water.....

i dont understand how the alternator and rev counter are related surely its a tps or electrical contact type thing,but im no expert also im 90% sure the spedo is not affected,i will check out the alt" output though,is it possibly the belts ?????

Have a check at the wiring connectors going to the CENTRE coolant sensor on the head - it tells the ECU it's info. I found a bad connection on a friends bongo which caused the hold light to flash and the tachometer to drop.
