The FTO comes over here in km, so you'd need to know if who had it before changed it. Most people I know have left it in km even if they changed the speedo to mph
I think Camskill sell the converters

Why would you want to convert to mph we now use klm in Ireland :?:

Has your speedo dial got 2 sets of figures, (mph & kph). If so its probably been converted as the original Mitsi speedo only shows kph. There is 2 conversion jobs that can be done. One is to change the speedo face to read mph but odo still clocks km's or you can full convert to have both reading mph. the only way to tell for sure is just take a drive along somewhere you know the distance to in km's or miles, zero your odometer and check reading at the end
mmmm!! GPX........and its not all mine anymore....:-(

At the risk of offending you, could I suggest that you just drive down the motorway when the traffic is moving fairly well. If it's moving at about 100 - 120 on the odometer then you're in KMs!

Obviously, if you're at 100 and leaving everything standing! slow down because you're in miles.

Re the "mileomoter", I get about 100kms for €10 (or 60 miles) so give that a try and let us know?
