my speedo dont work tho, so i tell by the revs (19k in 5th = ~40mph, 26k = ~60mph etc) lol

feels like the revs are higher? or is it exactly the same?

so mpg not affected?

If you're going by RPM then you're going to be a tad out fella. Get a sat nav or equivalent and find out what speed you're doing at what RPM then you can keep judging your speed like that... alternatively a new set of dials is a tenner away ;).

As a premium member I'm sure theres a tool to find out how fast you're going at what RPM etc. it's in the tabs up top last time I looked. :y:

Get yourself a satnav, use the speedo on that, then get yours fixed. Speeding tickets and insurance costs a pretty penny when you get caught.
