Re: [MBZ] 87 300D noisy speedo
This is temp related; noisy and "cold" at 0700 when I went out, warmer, and noise went away almost immediately when I came back at 1000. No noise/warmer at 1200 today.

Solved permanently by taking out the cluster and coating the moving bits with sewing-machine oil. Just a thought, could no doubt be something else. :) -Tim On Mar 28, 2011 10:30 AM, "WILTON" wrote: Noisy speedo in the 87 300D at 0700 this morning; 'drove about 2 mi; 'less noisy when I started return trip at 1000; went quiet after half a mile or so.
