Ok..anyone elses speedo reading way out? I shall use a gps for accuracy tomorrow but i drove through 3 of those digital 'Your speed is'' signs today..
The sign said 40mph when my speedo said 35mph (12%)
50mph 42mph (16%)
60mph 50mph (20%)
Now I dont know if this is just my speedo or a combination of the non-standard wheels/tyres and the speedo..or whether these digital signs over-read to slow you down a bit..
I must admit, the speedo never gets above 65mph, which is a bit odd as i have the 200tdi with the defender box/disco transfer..it certainly feels faster than 60mph when i settle on the motorway..much quicker than the old N/A..
All a bit odd really..
