[ROVERNET - UK] P6B sloppy speedo

[Jane Gould]

Hello Boys (and girls !)

I once had this problem ,, it turned out to be cured by tightening the nut 
in the middle of the final drive flange of the gearbox ,,,, I can't remember 
now ,, but I think the speedo drive wormgear is only driven by 
friction,,,,,,,,,,, if the final nut is not as tight as it should be , the 
speedo drive worm gear can slip , therefore making the speedo under -read, 
particularly at higher speeds!

If this cures the problem ,,, please send me £20.000.000 ,,, (for the 
purchase of what is left of "Rover") --- if the problem persists 
,,,, ----keep scratching your head!!

Happy Rovering
