Should just be a straight swap of the speedo... i.e. the 4 screws on the back.

Just be careful not to snap any of the clips when separating the clear cover, and the white bit from the black bit of the cluster.

The UK speedo head swap does remove the speed limiter if I remember correctly, as the limiter is in the head, and the UK cars are not limited.


Quick question for you...

The Japanese instrument cluster has several indicators in the bottom right hand corner, including one for the front fog but there is no rear fog indicator.

Does the UK one have a rear foglight indicator on the dash? If so, I fancy wiring the foglight up to an un-used dash indicator, and replacing the legend with a rear fog one.

Cheers,
Jon
