Would anyone know or like to guess if I can use an UK miles dashboard cluster in my metric Jimny?
What I need is the print board and electronics inside it to help shut off my brake warning light.

It seems that 90kmh is straight up on the speedo on both, but i am worried about the miles or km trip counter for the mileage.
But could the mileage be stored in the ECU?

I aren't certain but i seem to recall that the odometer readout is just an lcd fed by the ecu not a separate counter on it's own.

I have heard or read that too, but also that the odometer is stored in a prom in the cluster. so not sure.
I have another ECU so i could just hook it up and see if the milage change i guess.
Got this ebay instrument to program key immobilizer chips that supposedly can correct the milage too so if it is in the cluster, i can probably fix it.

Will most likely not pass MOT with the light shining all the time or not working.
And i will most likely not pass the MOT if the milage seems to be tampered with.

The wiring for left hand drive and right hand drive are the same. The pulse from the vehicle speed sensor/ABS unit will probably be the same regardless of KM or miles, left or right hand drive.
The difference will be in the speedometer its self. Fitting a speedo measuring mph or fitting one of those KM/MPH chips off ebay should do the trick.
