George,
Fair enough. I've mucked around with 544/122 speedometers a bit, but haven't done much with the ones in the 140s, except for replacing bulbs and taking a non-functioning spare apart to see how it was put together. BTW, this is the original speedo that came in the car with the BW35. Do you have, or know where I can find, more information on how to change the behavior of the odo/speedometer in relation to the revolutions of the wheels?
Oh, and while I have you attentiuon, a totally unrelated, question: do you happen to know the correct Spanish term for limited slip differential? I'm thinking "diferencial de deslizamiento limitado". (Yogui, are you there?) I'm trying to convince a Spanish-and-Portuguese-only nephew that, for his purposes, he'd be better off with rear wheel drive and an LSD than a 4WD, smallish SUV.
