    Mine does it, think its due to having the front vents open and cold air on the backs of the gauges.

    But it adds to the character, its not really that important in the grand scheme of things though.

    I'm slowley moving to a full VDO array which so far has replaced the temp gauge and speedo both of which were bobbing around all over the place. Fuel gauge next because it does not go past 3/4 and shoots down to empty from 1/4 in a matter of seconds! It's almost useless ... probably needs a new fuel sender too.
    What was the p/n for the speedo?

    Land Rover issued a bulletin for this problem nearly 20 years ago.

    The fix is to drill a small breather hole is the casing of the gauge.
