80 series tacho going haywire

Post by whiteknight »

The tacho works fine but occasionally it starts jumping around a few hundred rpm or so. Also when sitting at the lights with the indicator on it drops in time with the indicators, turn the indicators off and its all fine. Weird thing is its not all the time just sometimes..
