The speedo on my 1931 RL saloon has a gremlin. It was rebuilt 20 years ago by Ron Bailey, ex Rolls Royce millwright, and was the most accurate speedo and odometer of any vehicle I have ever had. It never ceases to amaze me how inaccurate many modern speedos are. They tend to read fast so you think the performance is great and record higher mileages so you think the fuel consumption is also great.
I digress. The RL speedo was working perfectly one day then next day I found that it was still working but the needle was 20mph too slow, so it was reading 10mph at 30, 20mph at 40 and I was going a bit at 30mph.
It has a newish cable and the odometer is working perfectly.
I don't think I've lost my balls (yet!) but is it simply that my pointer has drooped?
