Hi Folks,fitted a conversion speedo dial at the weekend,but no matter how many times I reset it ,the speedo is still reading5-10 mph out(actual speed slower than indicated speed),is this normal ? Have I missed a trick? Thanks by the way for the very good fact sheet on this job

Mine and I think you will find most others do the same, I have left mine alone as it is handy where there are speed cameras, which is almost everywhere now. I have my sat nav which tells me the correct speed of the bongo but as I said I am happy it reads slower, it is almost a safety check. Happy motoring. P.S. I run 215's all round and have done for nearly 4 years now with no probs.

Yes,I have been using the sat nav as well,happy to be reading quicker as well,as the V6 can be rapid,thanks very much as I now know there are no underlying problems

Did you fit the needle after switching on the ignition? That way it reads more accurately.
