G60 Clocks

[e21jason]

Hi

I have just picked up a g60 from Germany to sell on behalf of my mate, he moved to Germany last year with work and picked up a G60 as his daily driver.
 
Last month he got a Job offer in the US so had to leave before he could sell the car, so I agreed to sell it for him I got it home this weekend but need to register it in the UK, which means I need a mph Speedo.

Can you tell me which one to use 140mph or 160mph

And were to get one quick

(I already I have worked out I need to rebuild the cluster as the G60 has the boost connection)

Thanks

Jason

You absolutely do not need mph clocks for UK registration.

I *think* any GTI 8V/16V clocks will do.

Nice car BTW.

G60 has a boost connection on the back of the clocks? o er . i put my G60 engine into my 8v the other week and didnt see anything its currently hooked up to 8v Gti clocks... although i dont have the speedo drive cable and the revs dont show...

all in all not much point in having clocks at the moment lol

Imperial Speedometer

Great Britain uses imperial units for speed measurement. The law requires that speedometers must include a miles-per-hour display. Please note in particular that any modified display must be visible in daylight and in darkness.

Markings may be added to the existing speedometer provided they are:

    * accurate;
    * durable;
    * can be seen clearly in daylight and when the instrument is lit during darkness.

*shrugs*  I'm wrong then (it's not the first time).

My post should have read:

In my experience you absolutely do not need mph clocks for UK registration.

You'd best take that piece of guidance to the DVLA in Bristol where I've registered a number of European vehicles with speedos in Kms and tell them they're doing it wrong, too.

It certainly won't fail an MOT with a speedo in Kms, in my experience.

MPH clocks not needed on an import.

See, that's what I thought, turns out it's not true - see above.

No, you are right, you can use KPH clocks as long as they have MPH on the inside (which they do). See below.
