The speedo cable has probably pushed itself back into the cable sheeth. Happens a lot on these models. Buy a new speedo cable, go to Europeanautomotive.com and order, it is less than 50 bucks. To test the speedo though you can remove the cluster byt disconnecting the speedo cable from the tranny and then sliding the cluster out by pulling it toward you. Then remove the cable from the back of the speedo and test the speedo with a drill and see if it works. Most likely it is a bad cable and you can just replace it. Sometimes it is a bad speedo though. If you need a new one, look on Ebay, go to Ebay Motors and Search 190E and you should get about 8-9 pages of stff, look for cluster. I picked one up for less than 30 bucks because I needed a fuel gauge.....
