Cool. That will be my next step if it is in fact out. Just at the moment I don't know what the right speed is. It might just be because I can feel every bump and the steering is very responsive that it feels faster than it is, but coming up to speed traps and generally 20/30mph zones I feel like I'd be going too fast if I go by my current speedo readout.

Yeah I know what you mean. I've had the car so long that I kind of know 30 mph in 4th or 5th and I had a hunch it was out, which it was. Swapped the VSS gear over, perfect.
IMO the tech has moved on so much, the GPS apps should be more than accurate enough to stop you getting a ticket, I drove around that like for about a month. I'll try to find the app I used. :arrow:
