My XJS 1995 4l convertible has been imported to Norway from the US. The speedometer show miles, but we here in our country use Km/h.
Is there anyone out there who`s got a speedometer reading Km/h to sell me?
Please let me know.

Hi - Speedos in KM/h are no longer available directly from Jaguar but maybe you will find some new/old stock somewhere. It may be worth trawling through eBay for a used one. Also try the breakers that regularly advertise in the magazine (Just XJS, Grublogger, Auto Reserve, EuroJag)
I've another suggestion for you. Try contacting someone who has imported a car from Japan as they will have had to do the same swap in reverse. For example, this company regularly advertise imported cars in the magazine.

Hope that helps

My car was a japan import. I made the mistake of purchasing, new a speedo and odometer from Jaguar (less than £100) as a friend wanted the KM/h as he was emigrating to Spain. What I failed with was the MOT as they would always record mileage as mileage and not kilometres, Consequently my car will show a discrepancy on mileage. I did take photos at the time and record the mileage on the invoice.
Happy days

Nick,
There shouldn't really be a problem with MoTs as they can record either Miles or Kilometres, depending on what speedo is fitted. We have one car with a KmPH speedo and the MoT figures are recorded as KM. If you have one recorded incorrectly, the MoT station can revise the record on the system (or at least they can within a certain period, as one of ours was recorded as Miles and they revised it when I pointed it out).
Cheers
