Mk4 golf gti speedo

Speedo is intermittantly working dips to zero strangely more often when the brakes are applied. Then doesn't recover until stopped then it works breifly again. I have checked the connector is okay on the drive on the gearbox, have noticed the fuel gauge intermittently dips to when going round the corner when the speedo is down? Please help. Cheers Chris

could be a bad earth or the clocks going faulty. do you have a spare set you can swap to see?

no i dont have stuff like that lating around, i had the gearbox off to change the clutch a few weeks back so im thinking check the earth on that now. I thought it may have been where i hadnt used the car for a fews days with me being the eternal optimist with the weather and taking the bike...
