    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

    Cheers

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
