Narrative:
While executing the ILS approach I noticed that the glideslope on my HSI was not responding or 'coming alive' like it should be for that segment of the approach. I tapped on the instrument and realized that it was stuck as the glideslope would move and stick in a new position. At this time I advised ATC that I was going missed and began executing the missed approach. My intention was to shoot the approach again using my navigation 2 but by that time the visibility had dropped below minimums so I diverted.
