Thanks Dan & Dave I must admit we didnt check whether the wick (didnt even look for it!) was lubed before we refitted the restored cluster - I'd rather hoped that Auto Instruments would have done that as part of the rebuild service that they do! In fact, the one that's in the car now (& still not perfect) is a spare we bought and had restored. I dont know how well it worked before it was (supposedly) serviced. We still have our original cluster/speedo that was giving us grief, so I'll have a look at the wick condition of that one and see if it needs free-ing up before we yank the 'new' one out again!
