![]() Hi Dave,
My speedo does the same, its like a demented clapometer from the old game show days or swingometer used on election nights. On a long trip I use my sat nav at least I have some idea and the rev counter is at least accurate. Has anybody a cheap dependable cure? Has anybody any tips on removing a 406 onwards dashboard, to fit a new clock, mine is only correct twice a day! I did not open Greg's posting, but I believe it to be a spoof that I have seen before.

But this may solve your timing problems ! -- and of course the bezel could be changed / coloured black to match /fool the car wash judges ! RETRO STYLE CLASSIC CAR DASHBOARD CLOCK on eBay (end time 16-Dec-10 10:02:53 GMT) Greg :-) |

![]() And if you want perfection, this company will copy the original clock face for you.
dial restoration, uk Or maybe you could have a face transplant and have one that is more pleasing on the eye ! Like mine :-) Looking forward too not reading your reply !! If you buy the clock gasket from Bristol and it is the wrong size - alter it until the hole suits your demanding needs. Love and piece Ozzy |

![]() wayward speedometer is often caused by a sticky or damaged / bent speedo cable.
The extra resistance in the flexible cable causes it to wind up like a spring and then unwind, resulting in the speedo needle waving about all over the place. First aproach is to take the cable inner out of its sleeve, clean and lubricate it. If that doesn't fix it then it's usually a case for a new cable. My speedo is dead steadybut 10% fast - and I've no idea why... Martin Last edited by Kevin H; 01-12-10 at 09:12 AM. Reason: removed email artefacts |

Most of you will be running modern tyres which result in a lower tyre diameter than your car had originally, so your speedo will say you are going a bit faster than you actually are. |
