You're right Steve.

The legal limit for speedo's used to be 10% either way, not sure if it sill is.

The legal limit for speedos is 10% under but 0% over. Manufacturers tend to err on the side of caution as the consequences of a car where the speedo reads less than the speed it's travelling are not good from a legal standpoint. Darren

Well, sorted it first thing, took about half an hour to swap over, the one on the Defender looked blue/green, the Disco one was black, after swapping it now reads just under what the GPS says I'm doing, indicates 53 mph at a GPS of 50, thanks for the info and replies yet again. Thumbs Up
