    My speedo always shows a bit quick due to the fact I have smaller wheels, lately I have noticed that while doing a steady say 50, the speedo starts to rise despite travelling at a steady speed, all the way up to 90!
    I can see how it might start to show slow through slipping ect, but faster :thinking:
     
  2. That is odd :eek:
     
  3. The mechanics behind it makes that seem like an impossibility. I always stand to be corrected.
















    Perhaps your flooring it and not realising? :lol:

    Does the speedo needle have a little sort of centirfugal damper that could be sticking/faulty. The needle is not a direct drive off the cable, but I'm not sure what it is!

    I have had this on other cars i have owned ,the cable has been the cause every time, dunno why but the speedo usually went fast then erratic !
