With standard gearing your speedo is + 7% Odo is pretty accurate though.Tommo1965 wrote:paul wrote:welcome to the site mate , where are you based ?

Welcome aboard Steve. The speedo error is easily fixed with a speedo healer - I installed a Healtech unit and removed 5% of the 7% error (the other 2% is my comfort blanket!).
