Speedo - cable or electronic?

[AMG Merc]

Someone remind me please - our speedos are all electronic right? There are no moving parts apart from the needle. I ask as I've an annoying rattle around the binnacle area that sounds just like a speedo cable snagging. It changes pitch the faster I go. I Realise it could easily be being transmitted from say the front right shock ot elsewhere.

Electronic on my 2004 3r

Thanks, yes I think they're all electronic. I'm wondering what else behind/under the driver's side dash moves then

My right front shock was noisy, I was convinced it was something in the dash. I would suggest checking the bearing/suspension on the front offside. Neil

Thanks Neil. Funny you should mention this as I measured the ride height today and my os/f is 10m lower the ns/f so it would seem your hunch warrants investigation. Funny how noises transmit and are sometimes a long way from where you perceive them to be.
