Weird Speedo happenings
Posted: Fri May 20, 2005 12:52 pm
I have a 92 HZJ75 diesel cruiser ute with a manual gearbox.
It lives outside & never sees shelter (after all it is a work truck)
On cold mornings the speed displayed will be out by a factor of 6ish. IE it will pull 100km/h in 1st, & 180 in 2nd.!!!!
It is completely linear, ie if you slowly speed up it slowly increases the speed it displays. If you slow down it reduces the speed displayed.
This will happen for 10-15mins on some mornings & then display normally, however it happened for 100km of city driving yesterday, so I am getting concerned it is getting worse.
Anyone had a similar experiance or know of a solution???
