I used speedy cables maybe 15yrs ago for my 110. Overhaul and recalibrate, took ages to come back but looked like new, still great now.

You beat me to it...Speedy Cables and Caerbont are the two slowest companies known but both do a great job.

I suppose costs vary depending on the amount of work needs doing.
http://www.jdo1.com is one I have found. It says fixed price repairs and 48 hour service.

There are plenty of videos on you tube. I followed one an MG owner had posted. Stripped mine completely, removed all the muck that had collected around front seals etc and repainted bezels. Managed to recalibrate it so it now looks ok and reads pretty much spot on

I sent it off to this place and got it back in a week. £140 including the collection and Royal Mail insurance/postage I paid. Being it is off the road we jacked the back wheels up and went through the gears and speedo worked.
