my speedo sometimes seem to register roughly half the speed it should - anyone else had this?

There might be a bit of s**t on the sensor or might need moving a little closer to the toothed gear at the side of the diff,

I had to remove the speedo sensor when I replaced the diff bushes on mine and when I refitted it the speedo wouldn't read 'til I was above 30 MPH.

I adjusted the sensor and it was fine.

It's simple to do.

It's located on the chassis just behind the inner (diff) end of the RHS drive.

It needs to be as close as possible, but not touching, the "toothed" part on the drive.
