I know mines out because I've got a Road Angel which uses GPS to precicely measure speed. In my dads Zafira GSi its 100% spot on and in his merc van its about 99%, but in mine its way out. | |

quote: Tidy Corsa you got there :thumbs: For the record, corsa speedos are pretty famous for being in-accurate, but not so much at lower speeds like yours is. My guess is the sender on the gearbox, like said before. Interior looks like its starting to take shape, but try to source an interior from a higher spec like a Sport model. The seats are pretty good IMO, and doorcards too. Well better than that interior you have at the moment! Good luck :) | |

The beauty of the corsa interior is that all sorts of bits can be taken off and painted. I went for silver but you're body colour would go OK. Just plan it first and take your time :thumbs: | |

Don't bother with seat covers mate, look tacky more often than not... Save the £25 and put it to something more worthwhile, maybe a set of aluminium pedals to compliment the gear knob and handbrake? | |

The speedo on mine was 13% out, with the bigger wheels its about 10% but thats still 10mph @ 100mph | |

The wheels wont make a difference, more than likely its a speedo fault or something to do with the sender on the gearbox. | |

speedo drive gear or dials the wheels wont affect it that much | |
