I went with a hi ratio transfer box also and found it very good - happily cruise at 55 - 60 and still hold a conversation. It's now left me feeling that the stock landrover ratios are actually very low for road use. People ask me if it has left first too high or caused clutch wear but that's...

Does sound like a loose wire / duff connection in the wiring. One other thing that causes a problem with instruments sometimes is the voltage regulator which is attached to the back of the speedo - although my experience is that it caused the opposite problem (ie. instrument needles just went...
