I meant it may need replacing not just taken off 
Best to get a diagnostic reading done and see what cosed come up

so this vss..... is it located on the back of the clocks? because it seems to be in different places depending on what type of clocks, and how old your car is.

no.... well what ive heard is that the vss for our cars, is on the back of the clocks, either not attached properly, or sensor knackered! so new clocks should sort it, ive just not got round to getting a set!
ah yes and also my clocks do work, but still have this prob, hence i believe its the sensor!

i had the same problem with my 95 sport, after a diagnostic test i found out it was the speedo connection, mine had rusted at the back of the clock and needed replacing, after that had been replaced, everything ran fine with no cutting out or engine management lights etc.
