Instrument Cluster.

I want to change my instrument cluster from MPH readout to KPH without altering the other settings.

What's involved here? How much might it cost?

I spend half the year in Europe but half in NZ and want to take the car there, where its RHD but KPH. (Resale is also considerably higher - a new SL350 is 50% more)

Tried MBUK Customer Services who were rude and totally unhelpful, as usual.

Thanks !

Mus

Hey Steve thanks for the offer.

Does a USA LHD cluster fit a RHD car?

Which side is your Tacho?

tach is on the right. should be the same even though you drive on the wrong side.

I think he wants a KPH cluster for NZ, he already has the MPH cluster (which is what is used in the USA and the UK). So I doubt a USA cluster will help.
