It cost me £150, not from there though. No idea if thats good or bad. The new white dials were an extra £50 and read up to 180mph.

does ur current speedo read up to 160/180 ??

u can buy a converter, depending on Year as to which one.
the one i had goes inline with the cable that runs from gearbox to speedo.
it converts to read mph and records in miles.

on the speedo just blank out the "k" in kmh.

job done.
