You can buy a gearbox which is fitted to the speedo cable.It is a 5 minute job to fit-and easier if the car is on a lift.I bought one last year for my old car from EURO SPEC 2000 LTD in England for £75.Their no. is 01276 670 628 or www.euro-spec2000.co.uk.
Hope this helps.

Single vehicle approval. Its not a shop. They inspect the car or some bollox like that.

Wasnt aware of that??? Ive seen loads of cars, come straight up north, and all they needed here was an MOT?? ( along with all the other documentation relating to import.
They just passed thru the south, as they have to for some import gibberish, they cant ship them straight to the UK??

Exclamation

they would probably be EU imports. All Jap stuff (cars and bikes) needs SVA to check that it meets UK requirements. I got it done on a bike a few years ago and all they did was check that the headlight dipped left and the speedo was in MPH

Nope, Jap stuff too. Maybe I just didnt see the paper work, but some of the cars were no sooner into dublin, than on their way up here. The cars were only fitted with MPH etc etc up here, for the MOT
