I've put up with a dogey speedo since I put it back on the road but now that the OD is functioning well the cars ability at speed is now an issue. As well as that it's become obvious that the Tacho is grossly overstating the rpms of the motor. I'd always struggled to get it to idle at a suitable speed by the tacho and now it seems that the tacho was giving me the wrong readings.

Made more frustrating because the times I thought of taking pics I didn't have my camera with me, I'd completely forgotten about my new phone which has a decent camera in it and this was in my pocket the whole time! In fact the 3 pics I have I took with it. They're not great but certainly acceptable. Well, continuing on, I needed a slug ...
