probably... try search up at the top towards the left...
there's different ways of doing it. either re-chip the electronic one or replace the facia (available from Milners)

ta.
i've put the new face on but i'm gettin sick of havin to convert km's into miles.

i have seen on ebay before a gadget that you connect into the speedo which changes from km to miles if i can find another on there then i will post it on here

[wasp132]

thanks, but i think it needs a chip cos it isn't cable-driven?

nice one andy, i sussed that one before when i did a search, they seem like the people to contact.
slug man, i shoulda explained more clearly. the speed is in mph cos i've changed the face but the odometer/trip meter is still clocking up in kilometers.

Just watch out if you rechip the speedo - your mph speedo face will be out as the needle will read less. I`ve got a chip on mine and it uses the original face, what used to be 60kph is now 60mph so if you used a chip with your new mph speedo face 60mph would read about 40mph.
