They fixed the font. Alternative colours and a blanking plate now available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Tidybeard Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 the vectra b also has different scales- 0 - 140 & 0 - 160 bearing in mind the 2.0 xev was quoted to top out at about 136 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagaStan Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Ran out of speedo a couple of times in my 657cc Suzuki Alto. Downhill with a tailwind of course. And it did over read by about 10%… we’ll call it 80mph! grogee, Lacquer Peel and tooSavvy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the 'Short-term memory' function is some clever* German technique to allow you to forget you have possession of an Audi A3 the moment you turn your back on the hateful thing.

MrGTI6 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I've spent the morning driving a new-shape Ford Kuga hybrid. The digital readout renders the (also digital) speedo redundant, but nonetheless this has got to be one of the most ridiculous speedos ever... grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_ZTT Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Saw this thread and had to check the big Merc, but it's disappointingly sensible Top speed according to Parkers is 146mph, speedo goes to 160mph, if we assume most speedos overread by ~10% then it might actually be possible to hit the top I am not going to find out Not sure I like '1/1' for a full tank of fuel though when just '1' would be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
