alright folks..

As most of you already know i have a 2.0 16v in my corsa.. but recently ive noticed that my speedo stops moving after 100mph.. it just crawls to about 110mph although the car is pulling strong.. not far off the limiter in 5th
which must be good for about 130mph+ at least.????

Has anyone used a digital Speedo or know where i can get one ?!?!
I dont want to fit an astra Digidash as i dont really like them that much..

I quite liked the look of the corsa the other day with the Flock dash (andy hamiltons im sure.) where did he get his clocks from.. any1 know

Also 2.0 corsa folk have u noticed the same on ur car??

my cable speedo worked for a grand total of one day.
snapped the first time cos i hadn't screwed down the box drive far enough.
replaced it with a new one and it still doesn't work. no doubt i fitted it wrong.

guess work is the way forward.

would be handy if it didn't read higher than 96, for if you got caught speeding. think thats trhe cut off point when a fixed penalty becomes a court appearance.
