I have a 2001 tuscan and from time to time I get a false reading on the manual speedo. The digital reading on the LCD is fine but the manual reading is too high. When the car stops the needle doesn't go back to 0 and stops at 10mph or 20mph and then the manaul reading is 10 or 20mph to high. This only happens in hot weather. Anyone had similar problems or any advice to what to do.

I've had this happen a few times when it's hot, maybe the needle expands and gets stuck on the way back down ? Mines was stuck quite high, made for some nice photos tho :-)
