Sounds similar to mine, although mine is only every few days or so. I think it's probably the sensor on the 'box

search button Wink

it'll be either a bad earth - check all connections to the clocks

or

busted VSS like mine, the sensor in the gearbox. you don't need a working speedo to pass an MOT so I never bothered haha
