Just wondering if anyone has experienced this before? When accelerating relatively sedately, to about 40-50mph the speedo needle seems to pause slightly and then jump as the speed increases, as though it is getting cought on something. It does this every few mph as the speed increases. I've had a really good look and can't see anything that it could be catching on which makes me think it could be something electronic with the stepper motor or something. Doesn't seem to do it every time, but most of the time. Any ideas?

I know on some cars it can be bearings in the gearbox, not sure if this helps you at all!
