Default Speedo problems

Hey guys,

This weekend i decided to change the lights on my instrument cluster as one had blown and figured while i have it all out i'll change them all, but i have since developed a slight problem, well problems actually.

First when i start my can and turn it of my speedo needle 'bounces' at the bottem against the facier plate.

Secondly my speedo is out by 10km/h i.e reads 60km/h but GPS shows 70km/h

So my question is how do i fix these problems? will a recalibration do it? if so how can i do it or where can i get it done in Melbourne (north or west suburbs)

thanks guys
John

it means when u put the needles back on after changing the globes u didnt take notice of where they were exactly sitting and put them back in to far down

a recalibration will fix it, that take it off and measure it and stuff,

Didn't have to take the needles out to change the globes, they change from the back of the cluster.

Would ford service department do it?
