Revcounter not working

Hi, Driving along today I noticed that the revcounter wasn't working. I have a 2002 2l petrol. Any suggestions? It drives perfectly otherwise. I did notice when I started that normally after the van's been sitting for a while I have to give the accelerator a good push as it sticks. Today I didn't. Other than the revcounter it drives perfectly. Am I doing any damage using it? Thanks for any advice.

Had a similar problem about 18 months ago - lots of info on what to check - search for original post "Alternator slow to start" - mine ended up being alternator.

Mine has stopped working on a few occasions, I give the revcounter a gentle tap with my fist and then it works fine again. Probably happened 4 times during the recent 8 years.

Funnily enough I started it up today and the rev counter worked fine. I'll take it for a run tomorrow and see if it continues to work. I think I read somewhere that if it stops working after a bit of a run then it's likely to be the battery (3 years old) or alternator.
