You need to buy an adapter to adapt the speedo to mph. It can either be a gear type or an electronic type depending on model. With this fitted the 112mph limiter is effectively removed and your speedo reads in mph which is a uk requirement for it to pass its SVA.

You need one of these, assuming yours is a cable and not electronic:

how can I check if its cable or electronic?
I take it i'll have to change the clocks then, is there anything else I have to do ?
will this improve the acceleration or just the top end ?
