1988 Volvo 240DL sedan Speedometer Problems 200

I own a 1988 Volvo 240DL Sedan. My question is regarding my speedometer. Recently, it started behaving erratically - randomly jumping to 'zero' and then back up to the correct mph. This happened whenever I a) hit a bump b) accelerated too quickly c) accelerate past 55 mph

More recently, it DOESN’T work more than it does. I heard this could be due to a cracked/loose hose – is this true? Or is it electrical? Or a faulty speedometer?

If it's a faulty speedometer and I need to replace the entire speedometer assembly – would this also repair my odometer which has never worked since I bought it 3 years ago? And how much should this cost (ballpark)?

Thanks so much,
Sonia
