I got out for a quick run on Saturday afternoon in the Aero for a swift blast around some of the nicer twisty roads in East Surrey and West Kent whilst the weather was reasonably dry and bright. It always fascinates me how little wind buffeting there is in the Aero compared with my wife's SLC 43AMG.

Whilst out the speedometer threw a fit and decided that the needle should move round the dial to full stop past 180mph and just flicker there permanently and at the same time I lost the mileage display from the little LCD screen above the VDO logo. All other clock working normally and the speedo did retain it's backlighting so there is power there, any ideas?

After I got home and washed the Aero when I started it to put it back in the garage the speedo returned to normal operation and the mileage display also cam back showing the correct mileage. Is this a case of MORGAN (Most Owners Regard Gremlins As Normal) or has anyone experienced something similar which requires a more structured cure?
