hi
does anyone know of any where that does speedo calibrations
mine is out by about 10% maybe a bit more it got through the MOT but im fed up with not knowong exactly what speed im doin lol
its a mk1 punto 60s
 
the speedo is not a serviceable item.it has a precision spring in the back.it is very rare for them to be faulty and they last the life of the car.the wheel or tyre size is the obvious cause,try swapping the wheels front to rear and see if it makes any difference.did you find the error through a gps device
 
if you have a rev counter use THAT to indicate true speed.
e.g 5th 3000rpm = true 60 I believe.
4th 2000 = true 30
etc etc

thats a 1.2 8v mk1 with its correct sized wheels, there nothing wrong with it, they are just designed to overread that bit.
a gps will show you just by how much
