hi dunno if any one can help. i recently sold my j reg 1.ol nova to a mate of mine. now when i had the vehicle i put the sri white dials in but the fuel gauge never really worked properly so he said to stick the old black clocks with no rev counter back in. so i did to find that when he was doing a speed eg 30 its seemed far slower so put sat nav in to find that was actually reading 8 mph too fast whatever speed.
so hes been and got another set of clocks put them in and now it reads fine untill 60mph then it reads 10mph too fast.
cant see it being the cable as if it was slipping surely it would read to slow not fast. the same with the speedo drive. which leads back to the clocks but why would 2 sets be faulty
am i missing a trick as i really cant think of anything else
the only thing that has been touched with the clocks is the bar that holds the mileage cogs on so could set the new clocks to the vehicles current mileage could this be the problem? would it be better to just stick a set of clocks in and make a note of the mileage on the service book?
any help would be greatly appreciated. cheers
