Default Mileage correction

Hi,
i have just fitted a speedo convertor from kilometres into miles on classic.

all good.

the speedo mileage was in kilometres so i adjusted the reading so it now coresponds to what the KM were into miles as it is now running.

will this be o.k for the MOT ?

hmmm


cheers

Yes. So long as you've done it correctly i.e. you should have divided km by 1.609 (or multriply by 0.621) to get to miles (then best to add about 10m onto the result, so that you're defo 'on the right side' of the law! lol).

Also, you must have 'MPH' clearly marked as the main thing in the speedo clock.

Won't make a difference for mot don't even need the speedo to read in Mph.
The mot rules are weird.
Example if you have a crack in your windscreen it's a fail, if you take the window out and take the wipers off its a pass.

Shouldn't do - as it's well over the milage equivalent.
