[ROVERNET - UK] Rover P6 speedo.

[Larry]

Thanks James, I've installed the new speedo. It works great except that it 
reads about 20mph low at 60mph. The gear is from  one unit and that speedo 
is from another spare. Could this cause some problems? They were in cars 
that I've had for over 20 years. Thanks, Larry
