JB,
As you know, I am no expert on big wheels/tyres and difflocks (how do I get
round the Balkans without them, I must be missing something there ;o)
But if you want to check your speed and mileage accurately then borrow a
GPS from a mate. Even the cheapest Garmin model will be able to give you a
very accurate check on your speedo and odometer. Just make sure you take a
trip on a road that preferably goes through open fields with no shadow from
forests or steep hills alongside. A 20 mile round-trip will do it. Only
when you have checked that out should you start worrying about the cause.
I have just been to N.Wales and back this week and my GPS tells me my
maximum speed was 127kph (that's over 80mph). Never knew I was so naughty !
Cheers
