1.2 8v... 4 gears??

if so, will also be down to the different ratios in the box. you'd be best getting an F13 gearbox from an SRi & fitting that to get teh speedo a bit closer...

If your tyres are a different size, you'll have a different rolling radius, so your speedo will seem out. Get it re-calibrated.
