V6 Speedo.. KMPH - MPH

[Stickyfinger]

High guys....quick ??

Speedo, from KMPH -2- MPH....

OK, can the Brit 2ltr speedo replace the KMPH Speedo or will I have to use the Brit V6 Speedo to get the correct calibration ?

The Brit 2 litre speedo should work without fault. When my car was converted from the TCT to the V6, the speedo wasn't changed.

I wonder if the car will have a hissy fit if the mileage on the clusters is different?

Hummmmm ya bugger....had not thought of that ....well trial and error then or work a way to switch the face plate/or/decal

The distance counter on a mk1 is mechanical, so the car does not care.

Of course! I'd forgotten it was a Series 1 that Sticky is converting!

My bad!

I'd imagine that the TCT speedo will still work, however, if you're going to the hassle of stripping it out, I'd have a peek and see if you can match the mileages. Just transferring the fascia won't work I wouldn't imagine as the milometer will still be recording km spinning round but the speedo would be in mph. I'd use the TCT one if it's a Series 1 and then just try and match the mileage. Does the Series 1 Activa still have Oil and Water temperature gauges?

Ahhh ya buggoor...had me for a little bit there

Yes David...a S1 with wheels init....finally a use for [init] ..AliG will be proud.
Miles or Km recording is not a problem, all I would like is MPH showing on the needle
How would i change the millage wheels to show correct equivalent on the replaced MILE counter ?
