20,000mile cossie small fault!
Hello all, i have just brought a 20,000mile small turbo cossie and have one small problem and was hoping someone could advise me.
The speedo over reads by almost 15mph at all speeds, any thoughts on probable causes would be great. Cheers

If its always by 15mph it probably means that someone has taken the speedo apart for some reason and put the needle back on in the wrong place.
If was anything to do with the cable, wormgear etc then I suspect it would overread by a percentage and not a fixed amount.

hmmmm.... if the speedo has been reading 15mph for a good while then maybe all the reciepts would be genuine but still not a true representation of the true milage 
, hope not tho.
