Truspeed

[Zute]

Anyone know where I can get the "Truspeed speedo correction unit" from in Australia. Im in ACT.
Also if anyone has come up with a better solution, do tell.

or try a gps first :D See how far the speedo was out before you changed anything.

Checked a gps against my sisters bmw a few weeks back and it was out 8k and was stock

As Outlaw says, use a GPS, even if you have to borrow one.

I discovered that our Discovery is correct up to 80, then goes haywire. Speedo reading at 100kph is actually 95 kph.
No wonder I never get booked for speeding :D

4x4 Design & Engineering in NSW somewhere from memory - Michael Samootin. Great little unit that allows you to run 2 sets of different dia tyres and is so easy to callibrate making your speedo very accurate.

Aye, Mick

Hi Zute,
Do u plan on running bigger tyres?
At the moment i run 265/75/16 MTR's on my D2 & the speedo is out 10%.
So if i am running at 100Km/h i am actually doing 110Km/h & at 60Km/h i am actually doing 66Km/h.
I have the truespeed fitted as previuosly didnt have a GPS & the wife was driving the vehicle, i now have the GPS but the truespeed does help.
Especially after u have had the tyres for a while u just get in & drive.
Try Simon at 4x4intelligence.com.au they will most likely have one.
Hope this helps.
Cheers:)

Mate as Sniegy said. I have one from 4x4intelligence and it arrived really quickly. They are easy to fit too...

Worth the money too...only takes one speeding ticket to regret buying one!

:redface:Oops didn't realise 4x4intelligence was an Aussie web site. thought it was UK.
Yep going bigger tyres and with standard, its right on the money. I would go the GPS option, but the wife drives it most of the time an not to technical.
Thanks all.

[McDisco]

yeah they are all local Melbourne guys and they love their Discos!

Seems to be common the D1's, mine is 5-6 % out across the range, i can sit on 110 by the speedo and not get booked - gps tells me if i'm speeding.
