Seems it back reading in KMs. On the earlier cars there is a mechanical convertor for the speedo cable leaving the gearbox, later cars its electronic. Which MY is your car?

Cable then. Did it have a mechanical convertor beforehand? If your speedo still reads up to 180 (and odometer counts miles) then it would have one fitted. Perhaps its now missing?

I am not sure what you mean there?
Does it add 20mph to every speed, or, for example does it read 100 when you're doing 60MPH?
