I used a device which I spliced into the speedo cable and gives a speed proportional pulse train. I don't think it's too important, mine is not the same as Rover's.

It's used with some ECU EEPROMS to give a maximum speed limit, best to get rid of that using another chip.

It's also used to give the increased engine idle when moving. Obviously if the pulse sequence is way too high or low it will affect the speed at which the moving idle is engaged.

I believe TVR used a device which turned on a standard (non speed proporational) pulse train when the car is moving and cuts off when stopped. Unusually for TVR they don't seem to be very reliable.
