Speedo keeps bouncing and not working every now and then  Only seems to happen when its colder . soon as the car has warmed up on a run the speedo jumps into life  New speedo or just a loose connection

Try reseating the cluster...

But we've had this conversation before... bouncing leads to needing a new cluster when the speedo finally dies.

Presume abs/tc lights working as normal

Aye

Are all Omega speedo's the same ? There is one from a 2.2 16v for sale 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Speedos all the same, I think, however, the whole binnacle will differ from petrol to diesel (think the glowplug light, for instance) so any old binnacle may well plug in fine, but you's no doubt have certain issues. Might well be possible to install just the speedo into your existing binnacle, thought suspect it's going to be far easier to get the 'right' one in the first place.

Yours is V6 yes? Should be the easiest binnacle to source on here, surely?

I have a 2.6 binnacle if you are wanting one EMD

No. 4 pots go to 140mph, V6 go to 160mph 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Bugger, yes, of course, 4 pots will read slower, too. I suppose the spacing between each increment would be different, too, throwing the readout off by a fair bit. have to check on the spares Omega, that's a 2.0...

[TheBoy]

Speedos vary with engine and age.  Pre 1998, its horrifically complex.

Thanks for that offer omegod  Ive taken the panel out then cleaned the connections . Seems to be working ok for now but wonder if its a sign its on its way out  It happened last year when the cold weather started but fine in the warmer months
