Defender Speedo, Is yours Accurate??

Hi Steve
Obviously you havent had the joys of a series speedo.They bounce like a set of 44DD's with no bra [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
In a series,if you are keeping up with the traffic,you are going too hard,with a line of traffic behind you,you are about right [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

i drive slower than the rest anyhow.

i'm used to bouncers :oops: ... Austin 1800's and Minis are not that good...

Steve

About +2.5% by km posts. Haven't checked it against the GPS.

All within acceptable bounds.

They all seem about the same....

ok, i'll check mine again and see if its ok...

My speedo reads 110km/h when im really only doing 100, but thats ok cos i dont mind doing 100 anyway and it stops my passangers from complaining if they think im doin 110. it bounces at low speeds, never worried about it i have seen alot or cars do it.

ever considered putting a mini body on a landy chassis?

might not get it street registered....but it would still be worth it.

hmmm.....a mini with 35' tyres [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

ok, it seams they all do it.

Buggers of things....
I'll bang my Terratrip Tripmeter in it and use that.

Steve

Disco does the same, out by 10% 60 on dial is 53, (if those roadside speed detectors are right)? But thats another argument. Wasn;t there a story a while back about a120Y doing 170k's uphill past a spedd camera?

GQ

ok 5 or 10% i can live with...

20%... nope that craps me.
over easter the 1500km i did i checked with the GPS and the speedo is out and trip meter by 20%

So my 200k defender has really done 160k
mmmm would the transport mob allow me to correct it after getting the problem solved??

Careful - if you correct a 200,000+ kms LR back to 160,000 kms - you'll have to do the 160, 170, 180, 190 and 200,000 kms services and oil changes all over again !!
