speedo packed up on 98 type R
 

The speedo has just gone haywire on my 98 type R...help needed please.
The needle with the ignition off is sitting at 6 oclock and when i turn it on it moves to just under the stop for zero mph.....obviously it cant go past the stop so i get no reading......odometer is still working fine,its just the speedo.

Any ideas what it could be????

someone must have an idea!!!!!!!
