That sounds familiar, see this thread:

In my case it was the printed circuit board:

I bet the dial face plate has raised behind the center of the needle base if the needle is stuck.
You have to dismantle the instrument cluster and see what's the problem. If it's what I thing use a paper or something to cut out the raised parts of the dial. My tacho had similar symptoms.

Yeah in closer inspection the dial has raised where the needle is and is getting stuck on there, sao i believe simple solution is cut the raised bit on the dial, now this is the problem how do i get to the dial?

Just stick paper or somethin behind the needle and the raised parts will tear off.
