You definately need an odometer. It'll fail otherwise.

Really....

Speedo is not part of the MOT - FACT LOL

Milage is purely for a selling point of view NOTHING more, fraud n all that.

Not many rally cars have the full milage measured

My speedo reads half what I'm doing, and is about useful as a dinner plate, but I've never had any probs!
