Removal of Jimny instrument panel to change speedometer face plate to MPH
Sort of on the same lines, we used to have a 1977 Ford D series horsebox, the speedo didn't work when we bought it (inner cable broken) it went through 3 Ministry MOT's that way. One day I decided to try to fix it, as the inner was broken as there were several different length ones I removed both parts of the inner drive to measure & get a replacement. The order was delayed & I forgot I had left the end disconnected from the gearbox, so I went for the next test & it failed as it was obviously it wasn't working. Because it had failed when I brought it back a week later the Inspector got into the cab & we drove around the building to prove it was now working & I hadn't simply connected the end back up, whether that was strictly correct or not I'm not sure but you don't argue with the Ministry boys.
Ok, thanks guys. I will have to get Suzuki garage to change speedo dial as it is imported from Australia I need IVA inspection so must have MPH.
I need also a tear fog light. I have purchased a Jimny right hand light cluster and use the second reverse light to be the fog lamp, just need to run the power supply to a new switch in the dash. I have a new switch for a light bar that I can install but how to get the dash panel off??
The speedometer face plate is not available as a separate part; Suzuki will tell you that the entire unit (instrument pod) must be replaced. The part is on the order of £300, give or take.
I imported (or, to be honest, re-imported) a 1991 Range-Rover Vogue SE in the late 90’s from Belgium and had to replace the speedo head to read in MPH, or the garage would not give it an MoT pass. And obviously the headlights from right dip to left.
