Needles on some magnetically-energised speedos wobble at low speeds. I wonder if this is acknowledgement of that, and so they only allow the needle to start moving once the car has passed the wobble range of speeds. Just a thought.
Yet everyone else seems to manage it just fineChemicalChaos said:

Yet everyone else seems to manage it just fineI have seen wobbling speedo needles on a number of cars from the 1970s and 1980s (back then). Ford, Talbot and Leyland - cars my Dad had back then - some of those definitely had low-speed wobbling speedos.
I suspect the one in the picture is a cheap or old design, and this is their way of masking the problem.

I think the irksome bit is supposed to be the pictures on the wall not being the same height, but the bikes bother me more!

I guess they just rounded up to the nearest whole number, although 2.5 metres would have been perfectly fine.Antony Moxey said:

I was more looking at the fact that there's a full stop after 8ft with the 3m in brackets following on from that.Yes I know many prefer 'meter' but that causes confusions with instruments with dials or digital displays.
