Would anyone happen to know the process for getting a Japanese imported X308 XJR Speedo clock / cluster converted to mph / UK spec please. Yes, I know this is a bit of a niche question.
Specifically if anyone has experience of a company that does this conversion. I think you can source a used cluster but the mileage of the donor car will transfer across, which I don’t want. Just wondering if anyone has done this on an X308 as imports aren’t that uncommon it seems.

I recently went through this and had it done through the garage that imported the car. Where are you based and I can find out if they can do the same?

Alternative is to perhaps buy a discrete heads up display that shows mph. I have heard this is sufficient for passing the IVA.

Thanks. Based in the south west (Wiltshire Somerset borders). I d like the digital readout to be in English ideally as well, so I think I want to change or recode the cluster. There’s no IVA for it, as it’s over 10yrs old. Just the MOT.

Can't the trip computer just be switched to miles with the button on the dash to the right of the steering wheel?
