    It's a tiny plastic cog in the speedo that fails - they cost under $15 on Ebay to buy and come with instructions on how to fit. This is very common on all VDO speedometers fitted to Aust made cars.

    Edit....just checked - they're $8.99 delivered! ODOMETER COG HOLDEN COMMODORE VN VP VR VS SPEEDO GEAR | eBay

    The original cog is rubber and has a little grease on it from new. The rubber goes soft and fail. The new plastic cogs should give longer service.
