very easy,i find the gearbox convertor easier/better to do rather than the behind the clocks convertor

fit it and job done,you just need to work out from say 75000 k/m THE REST is in miles

or,like i did,reversed the odometer digits to read what the should of done in mileage,think i went from 133000 back to 75000 or there abouts

its easy enough.

remove the clock facia/plastic cover

remove the needle

remove the speedo dial

this will then reveal the odometer and how to remove it,few tabs need to be bent and a worm gear moved,all very easy

once the mileage digits unit is in your hand,you remove a bar at the top (this needs to be done by pliers) and NOT the side wheel.

then,its kinda like a rubix cube to adjust the units until you get the reading you want

thats from memory,was about a yr ago so there might be 1 or 2 steps i forgot but nothing hard

good luck
