Evening all
Is it possible that the strip speedo on my 2000 SC ('73 series II), does not give the correct speed reading?
This has been bugging me since i got the car last year. I have my suspicions that the speedo doesn't read the correct speed or it just my imagination?
When driving up the M20 towards work occasionally, I travel at 70-85 MPH, (so the speedo says!) but it never feels like that speed when compared to the same speed in my wife's Ford Focus and the speed of other cars that pass me. Also on deceleration, the red strip doesn't decrease smoothly, (its more of a staggered/jerky drop off ).
Could this be anything to do with the speedo cable, that I could remedy, or will I have to live with the fact that i'm not going as fast as i thought!?
Anybody got any ideas??
