If it's consistent you could move the needle. If not then make sure the speedometer is screwed in tight (4 screws).

The German SVX used an ECON button, which you pushed in for economy. It is where our MANUAL button is. Not sure how the whole thing worked...

When you get into it, you will be able to tell how to set it correctly. Get the unit out first, take a look, and pm me if you have any questions.

Yeah, opened it up, saw how it worked and went "Wow, is that all it takes to set?" Got it taken care of, it's nice to finally know how fast I'm going. And thanks for the offer to help.
