I've replaced the outer sleeve once. Don't remember how long ago, but I
do remember that it didn't alter the regularity with which I've been
replacing the inner cable since.
By 'regularity', I mean once every 2-3 years.
The instruments experts I sent my speedo to for testing and lubricating
could not fault the mechanism, and could not replicate the jitter on the
test bench.
I don't have a spare diesel speedo I can fit to //test where the fault
lies. I have several in instrument clusters for petrol wagons (now minus
oil pressure gauges), but these are calibrated for higher speeds. I'm
assuming that these would not be suitable for an /in situ/ test of my
diesel wagon gear

Is there anything inside the speedometer itself that could case it to be
jittery, assuming the cable is PERFECT?

Euan, Just to make sure, Are you replacing the complete cable, inner flex
and outer sleeve or just the inner flex drive? If you are doing just the
inner flex then it could be that the outer cover needs to be replaced as it
may be too worn and causing the inner flex drive to get damaged very
quickly.
