Question... my speedo is running about 10% over speed eg: 110km is really 100km. Fairly high margin so any idea if an adjustment to alter or need a new cable etc?

This is normal, 33" tyres will fix it :D Its also the reason why unrealistic (optimistic) fuel consumpton figures are sometimes quoted.

No 33's were slightly worse

Shouldn't be,if you're speedo's over reading fitting bigger tyres should improve this.

Worse speedo reading? Or worse fuel economy? :)

Pretty sure the spare wheel thingy is simply called the spare wheel winch.

The wiring loom at the back of my FFR was (and is) a dog's breakfast. Terrible mess. Took me hours to piggyback a 7pin socket off the NATO trailer socket. And that was with a NATO wiring diagram I found on ... the Internets. Hmm. :(

Lucky for me the electrics up front were ok. The ADF (or AFM?) even kindly bypassed the (dodgy) instrument dimmer dial for me. :D

What was the point of this comment? It didn't answer his question, didn't help anyone, and is also untrue.
