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..

check the small earth wire that goes from the battery to the front quarter panel. Mine was loose and tacho would jump around too
