speedo face, face lift

Post by stevo1980 »

Hi my speedo is white, somone has put an aftermarket face on as it has stupid things saying "yeah right" on it near 120kph, Also for some reason the milage is in kph but the speedo is mph, The bloke i got it off said it was replaced as it was broke, i have all the mots from years back so i know the milage is correct. I just want it all in mph, i have got a new face for it. In fact im gonna need a total different speedo in mph to achieve this. anyway how hard or easy is it to just swap the faces for now.

The speedo face is all that says whether the speed readout is in mph or kph - apart from that, it's just a needle pointing in a given direction.

The odometer, though, is calibrated to rotate every km or every mile. Much less easy to change.

If you want to keep the mix - mph speed, km distance - then just swap the face. If you want to get both in miles, then you'll need to swap the entire speedo.
