Hi there I'm sitting my restricted in a couple of weeks and I believe that my speedo is out, do you have a service to check this or recommend anyone to check it. And If I can't get it sorted before my test will I have to find a new car?

Hi Bradley, most vehicle do have a small amount of speed error built into them. For example it is common for the speedo to say 100 when you are actually travelling 95-97kms.
It would be a problem if you were travelling faster than what the speed is registered.
Speedos can be calibrated and some auto electrical services may be able to check it.
You may need a workshop to remove the cluster and send it to Robinson Instruments and they can check and calibrate if needed.
