    I was thinking miles also. But being a UK car, I thought maybe km's. My leather up here is taking a beating also. Well, its not too bad. Just my drivers side bolster. Easy fixed. ;)

    pap.... mate... the gauge goes to 200... you reckon that's Km?... you DON'T KNOW 5HIT about Boxers..

    it's miles, and my car can still almost go off the scale.... SUPER fast cars..., and SO sure footed at big speeds... imagine 1978 and doing 190 mph.....

    actually, my leather is dry too... the dash has shrunk back around the pod, but I'll get around to fixing it later. I just wanna drive it first....

    Rob... come around and see it... bring yours too because I've got a guy busting my chops to see it...

    :rolleyes: I didnt ask about the speedo being in miles, thats OBVIOUS!..............I asked about the odometer being in miles. For all I know, you could have replaced the speedo head. I thought UK cars were all in km's. When did they change? After the boxers? Well well well.............how convienient. ;)

    All countries display speed and distance in the same units, whatever they might be, don't they?

    I've never seen a KM speedo with miles odometer, or vice versa....

    Pap... move to the big smoke... the isolation is doing you in mate....:)

    Thats what I was getting at. A friend who performs RW has seen many of these. No Ferrari's of course. US import Fords/Chevs ect.....They have a km speedo facia with miles odometer. They must change the speedo drive to suit ect.....Thats why I asked. Plus I actually thought UK was in km. ;)
