If it is, I'd assume your speedo is too.

Is the car on standard wheels/tyres, or if not, what size?

Also what car are we talking here? And what Model Year?

OK, what makes you think it's inaccurate? It WILL be connected to speedo accuracy.

That is quite a difference, around 11% error. If your speedo is equally out you may have problems. It IS over reading, though, which is better than UNDER.

Who supplied and fitted the speedo conversion?

I bought the car from SVA imports and it was already done is it worth getting another convertor?
