Default speedo does not like mornings

in the morning, or when the car hasn't been used for a few days the speedo takes a good few miles to warm up,
it can read something like 30mph when you're really doin 70mph, it gradually creeps up once the car gets warmed up,
is this a common thing????

Mine will occasionally chirp a little when cold for the first few miles -- I've used grafiite tolube speedo cables before -- but on vehicles that were much easier to reach the back of the speedo.......

Lube the speedo cable and this will cure the problem.
