Today, with the help of the GPS, the speedometer controlled the speedometer of the car after replacing the reducer 4,11 by 4,56 and installing the wheels 16 "instead of the wheels 14".
The difference in readings is very small.
Replacing the gearbox without changing the wheels gives an error of 11%.

Today I checked the compliance of the odometer and GPS speedometer readings.
Two short trips,about 17 and 11 kilometers.
In the first case, the odometer readings are less by 5%, in the second - more by 3 %.

Today, I made a trip outside the city.
About 70 kilometers one way.
The odometer shows a mileage of 5% more than the GPS.

Tightened the power steering pump belt (again :? ), and the alternator belt. Screeching on start up has stopped.. :mrgreen:
Started tidying the cab floor, but the bolts holding the drivers seat to the floor are not cooperative. Time to dig out the ngle grinder for next weekend.

I'd much rather just use duct tape though... Can I get away with that? :D
