My speedometer is currently stationary @ 30mph. It moves up as i speed up, but when i slow down/the car is stationary it says @ 30mph. Any ideas to sort this problemo out?
Cheers!

It is possible that it is out of calibration. Have you tried resetting the system to see if that solves the problem?

You might try it as it seems to reset the system defaults.

1) With the key in the off position press and hold the speedo reset button, turn the key to position one and the screen will say test and a number.

2) Go through the list by pressing the reset button upto test 19 and then wait.

3) The display should then say"log i-off" then "log i-on" over and over again....when "log i- off" appears again press the reset button ....and now you are in the system software.

4) Scroll upto 21.0 Software reset. When reset appears press the button again and you will get a beep and you're speedo needle may vibrate a little (this is normal).

5) Turn ignition off then back on to position 2 for 10 secs then start your car and hey presto its done.

It worked...to a point. Its now gone from 30 mph, to 10mph

any ideas to get it back to zero? and what actually causes this problem?

The speedo is supposed to be self calibrating but it seems yours is a bit confused. You will probably need a new speedo.

You might try doing it again.

I had that problem with mine (check out the pic, the focus of a lots of stories

)

My other half pulled apart all the clock and then put it back together again and it was fine.

Not sure. It sounds like the computer just lost it's calibration.
