Josh.t is a known fact that original speedo"s are not correct +/- 5 to 10 K's. I have checked my speed with those road side speed check units and found my speed to be * K's out. I have been pulled over twice for speeding in school zones but have had my Gamin to prove my 40 K limit. I set my Hillspeed to the speed limit and it shows a 4 to 8 Km difference. Still have my clean licence and no points lost.

Esarby, That may be true, which I already knew speedos arent 100% accurate. In fact manufacturers are allowd more tollerance than we are. Still doesn't change anything. The Law states a speedo must show the origanal KM's if changed.

Josh. with the Hillspeed you are not romoving the original speedo. it is a GPS unit that gives you the correct speed and you set it to the speed limit with warning Lights or sound if you exceed the limit. You can also see if your original Speedo is out of sync.

The origanal poster asked about changing his speedo, I was just pointing out the legal requirements. Don't think I'll bother next time.

Sorry Josh, I know it it early in the day but I think I read it right.

This GPS speedometer sits on your dash plug in or permanant wired.

thanks guy i see both ur points but i was thinking of replacing the whole thing the origanal odmeter doesnt work and i was thinking of putting in a system called dash comand which does the whole lot just something a bit more up to date any one know anything bout dash comand i see some things on youtube

what i really need to know bout is the sending units the seed sending unit from the gearbox is a cable but can i convert it to a electical unit once i know that i can figer out all the rest oil pressure temp ect

Julian, It may be worth while checking what the regs are for changing the actual Speedo, If you ever decide to sell the vehicle it may cause problems if not done right. A little research now might save headaches later.
