Use a GPS to check it is correct before going back.....

What type for Speedo / Pickup you using .. mechanical / Electrical.

Magnets? Worm Gear? Digital? aftermarket or original Vehicle. Gauge is it New / Old etc?

Well thats not too bad. You now have a list of jobs to do. You should be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Well done so far.

If its cable driven then you probably need a speedo driven gear (the removable one in the gearbox that the cable pushes into) with 2 teeth less than the one that is in there.

Or send the speedo unit to a specialist and get them to re-calibrate it.

Can't believe how quickly you offered the tester a mint.

Ray will be shocked when I tell him
