So after the troops had left from today's Boxing day feed fest, I got a last head of steam and temporary wired up a cigarette style plug in for my Garmin.

All powered up well, so my middle son got duties to sit holding the GPS for us to check the speedo. Proved that I had been travelling well below speed which was what I had suspected from my testing on previous days.

The electronic VDO works best set having run a fixed kilometer so we did a bit of playing using exit distance references and got a modest result.

At least the speedo is now within cooeee. Reckon I was 20 kph + less before. This was a function of the change in gearbox and different tyres I guess.

Still think at higher speed the speedo dial is showing a touch less than actual so I need to correct this to avoid overspeed.

Otherwise all is great.

Over 150kms in testing so the car is being run in well too.

Cheers
