Speedo issue

[ExigeKen]

My speedo sits at 10mph with engine off and then jumps to 18mph when engine running. RPM sitting at 5 as well when engine off. Have had GPS in car and when doing 60 accoring to speedo GPS shows 40.

Any ideas?

Swap you... My license could use a speedo like that

Is there a reading on the speedo when the ignition is off completely, or just when the engine isnt running?

ps... try this...

remove key
open drivers door
hold trip reset down
turn on ignition (still with trip reset down)
cross fingers and wait for magic that might not be coming.....

ps... try this...

remove key
open drivers door
open passenger door
stand on your left leg
hold trip reset down
while touching your nose with your right thumb
turn on ignition (still with trip reset down)
hop on your left foot
cross fingers and wait for magic that might not be coming.....

Jon,

You may laugh but it actually worked speedo now working great. I think it was the hopping bit personally

Thanks Steve

It was a just under 20mph with engine running and about 12mph with engine turned off

Top stuff! Must have been the hopping - the rest was obviously a load of rubbish

used to happen to my 111r also mate

You can have mine, it reads 0.5mph all the time

I was reading 20mph to start with, which meant that when I drove at 30mph through a speed camera I was doing 10mph

Strangely the MIL has gone off now as well, after 5 restarts after resetting the computer

Could have been impressive on track...

"I was getting 140 down the straight..."

Could have been impressive on track...

"I was getting 140 down the straight..."

And getting to 60 in less than 3 seconds, could have been very impressive
