Speedo reading

[Stitch]

I have recently noticed that the needle on my speedo (S2 Ellise) does not drop to zero when the car is at a standstill. It seesm to hover around the 5 mph mark and through a bit of testing it looks as though the 5mph error continues through the speed range so that the speedo indicates 35 when doing 30, 45 when doign 40 etc.

Anyone else had this problem or any ideas what teh problem is and how to fix it?

I've found a 5mph difference between the speedo and my Roadangel

Stitch - there is a fix for this. Your dials just need to be zeroed. Do the following:

1) Open the drivers door (keep it open)
2) Press and hold down the trip reset button on the steering shroud (ignition off)
3) Turn the ignition to battery on while still pressing the trip reset button

The needles will buzz up and down and rezero. Job done.

Cheers

Does this have to be done under the light of a waxing moon while wearing a tea-cosy?

How did you know?

Actually the first time I tried this, it was raining, so I shut the door - and it didn't work! That's why I was so pedantic about the steps.
