Hello, can anyone help me with the problem that my gauges are showing the wrong speed and milage. They show about 20% higher than I am actually doing i.e. when I am doing 54mph, the speedo shows me at 70mph. and the milage is recording about 10 to 15% more. Cheers, Colin

Thank you Woodymk1. I've not long bought this van, so I have no idea of the history. Is there any way I can fix this problem? Cheers, Colin

Agree with the above the other thing that could contribute is the wrong size tyres, dont think they would send it that far out but add that to differant gearing and it all adds up, for anyone to give you more help you need to add model ,year etc etc .
cheers.
