Welcome aboard.

How many countries still use MPH? Won't most countries through which you will travel have the metric system?

It really is easy to just use km/h. There are only a few speeds you have to remember.

If an overseas dealer can change this, is it a simple case of a plug in and change as I want to (obviously) avoid changing the dash fascia over etc.... Thanks.

Depending on where you're going, leave it the way it is. Europe is metric, the UK isn't & the US isn't either...so where are you going?

Get a smart phone with GPS, a windscreen mount, and then download a Speedo app, and you can change between MPH and KPH as required.

Sounds like you are planning a great trip.

When I look on Topix at the build details of my car, it specifies "KPH SPEEDOMETER"... so I suspect its not a simple dealer change.

Where you heading?

The US is MPH Still. The Speedometer on my D3 has both on it. Maybe there is an option like that for your D4? Overall it should not be too complicated as speeds here are fairly standard with a few exceptions. Small communities and town are 30-35MPH, Highways generally run 45-55 and interstates generally run 60-65. Texas is the home to the fastest road in the nation, 85MPH, which is too fast for many of the junk vehicles that drive on it, which can make it dangerous.




The Part number, I think for the LR4 MPH Speedo cluster is LR027891

I've seen obd 2 head up speedometers on eBay as well - might work for you?

O and I think relying on a conversion chart or memory of speed limits is too hard. In the US you may see any speed limit in 5 mph increments from 25 to 80 mph. You already have enough to think about driving and navigating in a different country ( possibly on the other side of the road).

JUst divide by 8 and multiply by 5.
