do you mean when you first turn on the Key to start or when you start to move the bongo?

Possibly the speedo cable inner core is beginning to fray and catching on the outer core as it begins to turn as you move off.

the speedo is electric so I dont think a cable gose to the dash except an electric one which won't spin

ready to be proved wrong on this though

Could it be something to do with the ABS? When this works there is a similar sound that comes from (seemingl) behind the dash.y
