Speedo needle out

[Andyman]

Ive noticed that the speedo needle on my mk1 172 sits about 5mm from the bottom line when the cars idling is this normal ?

Its just that if the needles sitting at 30mph the speed Im doing might be higher ...... not good in todays camera happy world.

On the plus side my car might be even quicker than i thought !!!

Can anyone help please

Cheers

Dont worry speedo have to be accurate to within +0% and -10% legally upto about 80 I think.

Its a normal thing on Clios
