Ok thanks Kev.  :y

So that proves that, which is good. But it also proves plod spec is lower geared/higher rpm at 80.

Keeping things simple for a second  :-[ an idicated 80 in an auto plod spec car gives 3500. An indicated 80 in mine gives lass than that. Needs another 250 rpm at 80. As I understand it.


Calibrated speedo may be the culprit
Yep, plod calibrated taken the error, or some of the error out. Lowering the indicated speed, appearing lower geared in comparison.

What's the error at 80? 4 mph...?

FWIW:

3.2 manual, 3.70 diff, standard (original fit) wheels/tyres 225/55/16, close ratio 'box?

80mph = 3000rpm.

HTH,
