speedoHi all,
been lurking here about a month,seeking the in's & out;s of bongo ownership. well i finally done it and bought one today, but one little niggle, the speedo reads in MPH but the odometer reads in Kms. is it an easy swap or do i live with it?

Easy swap for a mid '90s 626 or MX6 speedo from a breakers, the ones that have GA5R printed at the bottom of the dial are a straight swap.

10 minute job with a Phillips screwdriver.

Or live with it, as loads of us do

I kind of got used to to the kilometers on the clickaphone & never thought of changing the speedo, unless there was an unrepairable problem...
Besides the kilometer-age tally's up with any relevant documentation..

.. Not that i plan selling it, i'm hoping it will give a fitting Viking funeral come my demise...!
How many clicks is it to Valhalla anyway?

Welcome phatgit (like the callsign

)

Live with the speedo (there's some evidence that they are better left alone as rechipping can occasionally cause a gearbox malfunction due to poor connections, easily rectified though if it does happen but baffling and annoying nonetheless). Spend the dosh instead (if not done already) on fitting a low coolant alarm for peace of mind
