Right so two weeks ago my speedo was on about 53408, now its 64600, why is the speedo telling me I have done 9000 miles more than I have? although it's giving me an unbelievable mpg I'd rather it be accurate! |

Sounds like the magnet inside isn't doing its job correctly? |

The magnet just indicates the speed. The odometer is driven by gears and ratchet and pawl. |

The speed that the odometer turns relative to the wheels is controlled by gears, a cable, and more gears. It's quite possible to see how it could under read if something was slipping, but over reading is very odd. Perhaps if a cog's worn it could be rubbing on the one next door, and bypassing one of the reductions? Whatever, you'll need to take it out for a look, and then replace it if you can't see anything. Either that, or you need to stop leaving the keys in it. |

There are small clips on the digits. Take it apart it's quite interesting.. Don't take the needle or face off though |
