This is normal provided you have stock wheels/tyres. Just about every car has a speedo that reads higher then the actual road speed. There is an ADR which iirc states a max 10% error is allowed however it cannot give you an under estimation, ie show 100 when you're really doing 100+km/hr.Originally posted by jimmyd View Post -
thanks Tornado, I learn something new every day !! The only problem is keeping it at 100k, always seems to want to do more !!Comment

Mines out as well, so when it was reading 194km/h on Saturday afternoon at the race track I was only doing 190 according to the GPS
Who said vans had to be slow!

, with some details...eg. how much road does it take to get to 194 aka 190km/hr. I still remember the "rather good sort" Victoria Butler-Henderson roadtesting on 5th Gear a T5 Sportline vs Vito around a track with the outpowered T5 running better times due to active safety devices taking over in the Vito.
