Blue, mate, there is a (very) small screw, phillips head I think, that holds the reset knob on the shaft. If tightening that doesnt help, take the back cover off the speedo/tach assembly (after removing the reset knob) and replace the small dust sealing grommet that sits around the reset knob shaft. A little Vas (why is it always some Vas? Is there a kinky kinda trend here?) helps get the grommet in and stuff. While yer in the back of the instrument cluster, check for other loose stuff, like lamp holders and stuff. It's gotta be in there somewhere!!! Cheers and best of luck. Woof...... :D
