I looked in the DIM and couldn't see an option to set the tyre size.

As my 2002 v70 speedo calibration seems consistently off by about 5mph ( under reading )

I've checked the speedo reading with an mobile GPS speed app and those road side signs that show your speed, both show the same 5mph under-read.
nope and a deffo nope. spunked £55 quid on a vida to do this specific job and it cannot be done

I get that you can't do the Speedo. But to not be able to adjust the tyre size yourself is just silly

Hi Dave I've got a newer Volvo now. But yes I did find using my scan gauge display using obd the Speedo was bang on. So it was the calibration out.
