If you have an ex cop chaser like me :-), you adjust it on the dash up or down by a percentage till its right.

If you dont, then you need a different speedo gear or a way to intercept & change the signal before it gets to your ECU.

One of the guys that have changed diff gearing could tell you for sure

Yeah, ex cop and MFS can be adjusted by holding down ODO reset for five seconds with key on, the however far above or below actual you want it to read. AU2 onward can be adjusted by ford dealer to suit different tyre size/ axle ratio.
