Thanks. :-)

Got a bit worried as i just did a search on pootroll4x4.comb and i saw some evidence that it was cable driven.

Ive bought one of these units and figured i could take it back if it was cable driven :-)

in the patrol speedos their is a little potentiometer (big word i know, means adjustable thingy) that you can adjust to calibrate your speedo .you need to pull the front clear cover off your speedo cluster and on the top of the circuit board above the speedo you will see it .i drilled a 6mm hole directly above it so i could adjust it with a small screwdriver while driving .then just borrow a gps ,drive down the road and turn the adjuster till it reads the same as the gps .simple a :D :D :D

Hi,
Anyone know if it is that easy for the 80 Seriers Landcruiser. Has anyone used the Jaycar Kit for 80 series.

Thanks
Tim
