Truespeed in a Defender

[LowRanger]

Has anyone fitted a Truespeed in a Defender.I have read lots of reports about them fitted to D2's,but would like to know who has fitted one and what sort of job it was to fit in a Defender.

Okay, I'll ask what is a "True Speed" ?

[dullbird]

true speed is a speedo corrector so when putting bigger rubber on the speedo reads true

this is important if getting your car engineered as it wont pass if speedo is out.

Wouldn't it be easier just to use a GPS? Or is that not allowed when 'getting your car engineered'?

For what I want,a GPS is not really an option,and if I was going to get it engineered,then a GPS is not an option either.
I know that Max (Tusker) has a Truespeed fitted,but I thought someone else may have had one fitted to a Defender as well that I may have been able to glean some information from.

why does engineering need the speedo correct when ADR's allow for 10% error

I travel with Godspeed and that's about 15kmh over what I'm actually doing. Makes me think I have a sportscar.

I know coaches will pass the pits with a GPS based speedo.:)

Only if they didn't know it was fitted;);)

I have fitted one on a jeep before. pretty straightforward.
and should be the case for fender:angel:

[tuesdayfox]

any speedo corrector kit should do the job.

using GPS to read speed is not really a wise idea due to inaccuracy and the black-box algorithm to calculate your current speed....

Any clues on where to get one locally Wayne? I can only find them in the states and there seems to be a number of different models.

That is the question Iain,I was wanting to find someone that had one fitted and which one and how difficult to fit.But no result as yet.I have seen the place in the U.S. but haven't bothered to call them as yet,as they don't list Land Rover on their web site.

Marks make one they say is suitable but I am not sure if or how well it works.......

When I wanted to correct the speedo on my old Disco, I tried both types of electonic device that marks sell (I had used their cable drive correction unit in the past), but neither worked with the Disco sender.

I had to use a True Speed, which I bought from tombie, a member here, but I think he might be out of that business now.
