Not sure about Series but for Defenders you change the speedo reading by changing a gear on the end of the speedo drive where it comes out the gearbox ?
If its not broken you are not trying hard enough....

was running it a non turbo for 2 months up until last week its a nice simply conversion,not the best when hitting hills, better than a 2.5 na i would say, i just wanted the over taking power so i fitted a tweeked 300tdi turbo, what a difference , fitting rangie diffs hopefully sunday to gear her up

Did you fit the complete engine or did you put the 300tdi ancillaris on the 200 engine
