take dash apart
remove needle
start car
place needed at 800rpm
put dash back together

^ Rev counter is fine dude, thats been sorted.

the same happend to mine. i had to get a new set that sorted it out.

^ pfft dont say that,

iv tried startin the car, remove needle then place the needle on 0mph, but when engine goes off it drops abit more,

ah sorry.. not going to be easy then.

not sure if it work, but how about driving on a very long straight on a provate road somewhere... getting a sat nav readout at 10mph exactly, and place the needle there... obviously not going to be easy to do... but is one way i suppose

or just keep trying the needle in different positions, setting it higher and higher until you can get it to replicate the read outs you get on sat nav?

if you have cruise control set it to 60 on motorway then move the needle thats what i did when i changed my dials

iv only got a 1.2 , they dont come with Cruise control, il have to take it down a strip of private road and hit 60 next to my sisters clio then place the needle there,

Told my dad about it and he says the Clocks need reseting or some sort & only people who can do it is garage
