UK speedo cluster
Hi everyone. I'm looking for a UK speedo (MPH) to convert my LHD Golf for MOT. Might be happy with not working unit as I need only dials.

Settled In
does your existing Speedo display both KPH and MPH?
what year is your car?
Motor Vehicles (Con & Use) Regs, 1986 Reg 35
Motor Vehicle shall be fitted with a speedometer which, if the vehicle was first used in the UK on or after 1.4.1984, shall be capable of indicating speed in BOTH miles per hour and kilometers per hour, either simultaneously or, by the operation of a switch separately
BTW, though it almost certainly wont be tested, a speedometer has to work so a broken one wont help - unless the tester doesn't notice…

Has it actually been failed due to this ?
Mine has always passed no problem with the clocks,
I'd take it for the Mot , and see what happens. Before starting to change clocks. Headlights will probably need adjusting.
Don't think you'll have any problems, and don't pick the examiners brains about it …

Thanks to all of you guys who responded and especially to Golfman16 for supplying me with speedo unit.
Yesterday pass my MOT test with Kmh but going to change it later.
All paperwork on a way to DVLA and hopefully soon it's gonna be another Mk1 officialy registered in UK.
