Thanks Jim Neither mine nor the 280E speedo seem to have the shift point marks. Could be a US convention?
I see also that the 280E speedo reads up to 150 MPH, whereas my non-turbo diesel speedo aspires to a much more modest 110 MPH. Might be able to cannibalise the 280E speedo for parts. Could always do with a spare oil pressure gauge, of course (on my third one already).

Both types have them, they're marks on the speedo face that represent engine redline in each gear. -- Jim
