I had read that there are different coloured speed senders and all i need to do is get a different one, not sure which one though.Quote:

Td5's and up take speed from the senders at the hubs (which work the ABS and TC).Quote:

Or just change to 255/85's ;)
Ashcroft sell a speedo correction unit...
It is a "speedo healer" brand, also commonly used on custom motorbikes.

Implications also being that a Disco2 transfer case wont work in a Defender because of the omitted speedo drive.Quote:

No reason you can't change to a mechanical speedo, you'd just need to trick the computer into thinking it still tells you how fast you're going!
