same here.....just go to the passenger side and give the hub a swift boot - soon sorts it until next time it starts.....

mine has flickered for 172,000 miles, getting used to it now, like the howl from the heater vent which lost its foam eon's ago.
minor problem compared to some

have seen a reply form Simon Brickyard IIRC and he said you need to tighten the wheel bearing on the front left hand wheel were the speedo cable fits

be careful when routing the speedo cable, make curves in the cable as shallow as possible as sharp bends in the cable cause the flickering

Mine flicks, my dads flicks, my last one flicked at 40. All part of the fun?

Mine doesn't flicker a lot, but it does tick...I'd think I'd gone deaf if it didn't.
