as title, ive decided to swap the clocks out and after finding to my surprise found cracked and broken pod bits, a cut wire that leads into the dash :l ive managed to strip it out with no problems and found this little black box attached to the back of the speedo

 

 

im guessing its got something to do with the speedo being calibrated to mph? the speedo has black tape over the k on the km/h. my questions are;

is that correct?

shall i cut it off and install the uk speedo?

do i connect it back up with the uk clock

and finally leave it as is and reconnect the speedo without connecting the little black box?

 

also is there anything else i should know while i have her face apart? or anything else i can do?

 

muchos gracias compadres :alucard:

you don`t need that black box with uk clocks

Yup, that's the speed converter.

shall i leave it there and just connect the new speedo or do i have to completely remove it?

just remove it

you don`t need speed converter with uk clocks

okie dokie, thank you both for the help!!

here are some pictures of the butchered bits and removal

 

 

who ever worked on this sure did butcher it!!, and them big ass screw dont look like they suppose to be there!!

those bits always break..brittle plastic i`m afraid

 

anybody have any clue what that wire is for?or was for?it looks like its going in the back part of the upper dash but it was tucked beneath the speedo and is coming from the bottom dash somewhere, not very clear pics but maybe someone will notice. ill try and get the new clock in by tomorrow :D and post results!

theres a hole beneath the right pod!! maybe a secret stash..?

my bad completely forgot to add pictures of the new speedo
