Default 1980 500SE speedo error



Anyone know how to make my speedo more acurate? At a indicated 80km\h I'd estimate im actually moving at about 70, at 140km\h I'd say about 115km\h. I havn't reached top speed yet but close to it, the speedo needle sweeps off the scale past the 260km\h(160mph) marking and I'm sure it really cannot go that fast.</P>


The Odometer also doesnt turn nor does the trip meter. And the tacho has a 6600rpm redline but it shifts at 5500 or so and holding it in gear causes the car to reach arev limiter somewhere between 5500-6000rpm.</P>


Also the economy gauge recently stopped working.</P>
