Tyres and speedo

laurieash · 14-08-2010, 14:27

HI all just a new owner of a terrano II on a Y reg ,just a few questions hope you all can help.
1st speedo is 7 mph out is it the tyres at 37mph on th clock i am only doing 30mph. tyres fitted are 235/65/16 r16 if it is the tyres is the clock ajustable or do i just live with it.
2nd low clutch hight if its the same as landrover just a bleed should cure it?

on looking in the master cylinder the fluid is black and looks to have jelly in it?
wiggle the old finger in it jellyfied. not seen that before.
also there is two bleed nipples one one master and one on the slave. the pipes go into a T piece one pipe to master one to slave and a thicker on going to the back some were? has any one got any spare wheel nuts as i need 4 because the vehicle came with lock nuts but no key.

lastly for now is there any get togethers or clubs near Scunthorpe.
Cheers laurie.

Speedos are always out by 5mph either way for some reason

so thats normal & nothing to worry about

Just change & re-bleed the brakes for piece of mind

Wheel nuts are on average about £1.25 from a decent motor factors

Have a look in the said areas for meets plus google

hi Laurie, the clutch fluid could be contaminated if it's like jelly, drain and refill, bleed system, also the damper pipe that goes to the rear, there is a block at end of pipe and a bleed nipple on top.

Damper pipe what does that do or what does it feed not seen one before

i think it suppose to dampen the clutch pedal some how, they tend to rust and leak, i replaced mine but some members have done away with all together, just bleed the slave cylinder and see how you go,
