Video - Over 70MPH in 2nd gear?
Heres a vid of my VTS ... are the dials majorly out or does have a different gearbox on it? It doesn't look like the limiter has been raised.

Hmm, I had saw a thread about this a while ago, I said my 1.1 can do 100 in 3rd and I just got laughed at... I'll have to make a Video. And my VTR can do 65 in 2nd... I'm not sure about yours but isn't that a good thing? I personally don't care about speed, I'm more of a low end power freak but if you want speed, surely your car is what you want lol.

F*cking lol at that.
I often use my girlfriend's 106 1.1 and there is no way on earth it would ever do 100mph in 3rd or even 4th. 100mph is basically the max of the car as it is.

I know, that's what I mean... My 1.1 always seemed faster than other 1.1's but no body listened when I told them lol.
I'll get it back on the road some time this year and make a video

Not really 'wrong' lol. But still the car is on a 52 plate with 50k miles, wouldn't have thought it would have had a gearbox changed.

Could have been treated badly and had a broken gearbox, and had that replaced at some point... Unless you know the car from the start you never know how it's been treated...

Didn't think there was a box that would do that speed in 2nd anyway.

Dude, click that, go to the third one down, look at the vtr box.
With a VTS limiter and a VTR box, top of 2nd is 69, which is more likely than your clocks being out by 17%

Think i'm going to go through one of those speed cameras (not the ticket giving ones) that tell you your speed and adjust it accordingly.

Hahaha that's not a bad idea, unless it's broken like the ones around here are...
My mate found out if you go past one really fast they stay on and kinda freeze lol.

presuming speedo is correct + you can check that easy with another car + both do 50 in top for instance.
most likely is its a vtr g/box and as you vts revs another 1000rpm before limter that would be about correct
