Default Seeing double - speedo

My speedo has started to show me ridiculous speed reading, double or more. It's not on and off it's constantly doubleish

I'm thinking down the rought of a dodgy connection or broken wire so I'll strip it and have a look but i'm wondering if anyone else has had similar problems and what the cause/solutions were

I had that problem, the speedo in mycase said i was doing 150mph when i was doing 20. The speedo wire was rubbing against the disk and shorted the wires. Duno in yr case though.
