You will need to have the clock recalibrated by specialist. Try the web site for "Speedy Cables" which explains what is required, and they will alter your clock so that it reads right. hth Ray.

Try speedy cables as Ray said mate. It tells you on there website what to do.

YOu have to make an arrow to put on the speedo end of the cable. make the bottom of the tyre and ground. Push car along so the arrow makes 10 revolutions then measure how far the wheel has travelled. Send your speedo along with this info to them and theyl set it up.

speedy cables here
