My Kph to Mph converter has failed does anyone know where I can get a replacement?
There is one on ebay and I have sent a question to the seller. _________________ Ian.

The one on ebay is the one I have on already,so have ordered one, not cheap at £57.60, but feel it's necessary.
The locking ring on to the gear box had sheared and the drive had worked loose.
Should be a simple job to replace it!! _________________ Ian.

If you start driving at 11:30, that sounds about right for an L300 _________________ 1992 L300 Super Exceed |

That's the electronic one for the L400.
Mine is a simple mechanical gearbox that fits between the speedo cable and the gearbox. _________________ Ian.

Almost the same except the drives are offset.
Have to go to local Mitsi dealer as the mounting into the gearbox has coroded which probably contributed to the failure of the lock ring. _________________ Ian.

I've got the "white dial kit" on "Little Monster - is it still available ? Think I got mine through the club but that was Y E A R S ago If not, I've the dash out at the mo so I could do some photos if you'd like?? Was a simple change and if a replacement is not available, I've found a top vinyl graphics guy that could do you a printout to stick over - hope that helps! |
