    Hi,

    Their are convertor units available that convert the pulses form the gear box to KPM or MPH etc, the
    issue would be if the pulses are also used by other systems. You would probably need to install before
    the speedo. I would suggest your first point of call should be a speedometer repairer, they might give
    you some ideas.

      Possibly a bit more expensive, but perhaps simpler. The whole speedo module can be removed in about 5 minutes so perhaps you can just change it with one from a wrecker? Its a really simple job with instructions available on this site.

      Also be careful with the J word, you might Jinx yourself

          I have no other suggestions. But I want to wish you good luck with both your Prado and your Jeep. It sounds like they both have the same issue? ;-)

            If you can't find a used speedo in the U.K. Maybe try the US or Canada. look for a Lexus GX460

              Why not design a sticker to apply over the speedo. Maybe someone has already done it.

              Very common when Australia moved from MPH to KPH

              Does the odometer have to show miles?

                ive sent lockwood an email hope they can sort ive been to their webpage and they have a mph dail for the deisel version so fingers crossed or they can custom make the dail for around 300 sterling. which still is not bad considering a new speedometer is around 2k new. many thanks guys i think i should have this covered now 8-)

                  In the UK I used a converter, called a Yellow Box from memory, to convert a motorcycle speedometer. You plugged it in and then it has micro switches that you set depending on the vehicle, if you've changed tyre sizes, and which way you wanted to convert.

                      Hope you managed to get this sorted, I have the same issue but my JDM Prado 150 series is a 4.0 V6 Petrol which never came to the UK. Can you advise how you resolved this in the end
