It reads 32 when im going about 20 and by the time im going 10mph
(according to the speedo) im actually traveling 22mph.
It does have lockwood dials so they have probably fitted the needle in
the wrong place, about 1 cm away from the 10mph. I did a speedo test
against a friends car and i was about 12mph out, so ill take out the
speedo and fix the needle, plus a light thats green when it shouldnt
be.
Ill have a look for the inline socket, im sure ill be able to make
some hidden compartment that i could hide it away in. I dont really
use in car gadgets, which was the main reason for removing the lighter
socket.
Thanks for all your suggestions and fixes,
Arnie
