Frequently Asked Questions FAQs

KMH to MPH speedo instrument dial conversions - Speedofixer

What does  a speedo conversion involve?

For most cars we will fit a dual speed mph and kmh calibrated speedo dial.

Your existing speedo electronics will be used with the updated dial fascia. The odo distance travelled can stay in kms although some cars can swap this electronically e.g. Audi , BMW, Mercedes.

What about my headlights , fog light and the MOT ?

We can arrange for one of the garages that we work with to perform a check and test this for you . Flat beams and UK spec lights do not need changing.  After testing you will be given a  quote to replace and fit any lights as needed. Inspection certificates can be issued.Some cars eg from Japan, Southy Arfica , Thailand , Malaysia , Auistralia  will not need headlights changed i.e. RHD drive cars. Fog lights , you must have at least 1 fitted to the right side rear  or in the centre of the car.

How much does a Speedo conversion cost?

Prices start from £230 and can go to around £500 for certain models. If we are using BMW  original parts for example these jobs tend to be from £250 to £400 - sometimes we can use an aftermarket part but the finished look will not be the same , so we will give you the choice if you want the speedo to look like a UK OEM speedo using original parts. Cars requiring a custom dial - job costs are approx £450 to £500 and require 2 visits from us to remove the original dial then have a dual speed one made for you  then fitted to you car after a couple weeks. If we are travelling to your home or another garage then we charge a callout fee to cover fuel ,time spent travelling and also any parking fees or special zone fees. Callout fee is charged at  £2 per mile from our office N13 4BS to your post code with a minimum £30 call out fee.

We will send you a written quote via email, text  or whatsapp to confirm your job specifics.

How long does it take?

The job takes between on average 1-2 hours to complete .However some cars can take 4 hours , some complex speedos take extra time and some dials may need bonding , so there will be a wait time for the glue to dry before refitting.  Most people wait whilst it is being carried out. There are waiting facilities and a supermarket restaurant nearby in Enfield - locations and facilities + COVID tiers  vary.

Some cars will need 2 visits if a custom part needs to be made and there will be a 2 week interval to make custom parts.

Do you have the parts in stock?

For some cars we will have the parts in stock , some parts may arrive next day.We will advise you at the time of your enquiry.Some parts will need to be specially made for you and this can take 14 days.

Do you provide me with proof of fitting for VCA purposes?

A certificate of inspection can be issued from any MOT centre that does work for you or a garage that fits any parts for you that is VAT registered or has an MOT registered number. You can have us perform the speedo change and then have your MOT centre do the checks on all the parts and issue one statement that confirms the parts suitability. If you are having the work carried out at one of our affiliated MOT centres then this can be done on the same day along with your MOT.
