I looked online and found it can be related to a differential sensor etc.
Over the last few months the speedometer was jumping occasionally and I have got a repaired one (the same thing happened on my other 1992 940). The supposedly repaired one when installed is showing 80mph when the car is stopped. The thing is, I had one repaired before for my other 940 (common on 1992 940) and it didn't work properly so had to send it back to be repaired again. So now I can't say if there's a fault with the speedometer as well or the repair place has done a bad job again.

What is giving doubts about it being a sensor is that it only comes on for a certain amount of time.

ah yes reading your comments it may be not the front sensors although i come across the front sensors failures here , its quite a simple check if your car has the 2 black boxes fault finders the sensors are on ebay less than £28 now mine been on 3 years and is fine don't waste money on expensive ones
