My mate is having a problem in that if she is driving along the road at any speed in any gear the speedo gauge will suddenly drop for no reason. sometimes the car even judders or sometimes stalls it dosnt happen all the time just is annoying when it does after a couple of minutes it gos back up to whatever speed the car is going at and it runs fine
any ideas ?

it could be the vechial speed sensor starting to breakdown.
