just a quick question....

my scooby had already been converted when i brought it plus it's my first import.
all i see it has is a sticker of mph covering the km, does that mean the mileage on display is 85km not miles?

 

It should have been converted to run MPH over KMH, this is one of the requirements of the SVA/ESVA, now if your car had xxx km's on the clock (say 40k for instance) then your car would have covered 45k miles and 40k km (or 25k miles).

so the 85k thats showing on the clock is 85k miles

 

No, that will be a mixture of KM's and Miles, if you know what the KM's were when the car was imported then you can work out the mileage.

just looked through paperwork, clock read 68,225km when converted, it's just over 85k now, so say it's 85,225k.
it's done 17k in miles in uk..... how is the original 68,225k worked out into miles?

 

42640 miles (divide by 8 times by 5) plus your 17k miles

it's a simple calculation, if you don't know the value google it or look on any car that has speed in MPH and KPH.

 

cheers

 

when i converted mine i removed the mileage counter and reversed it back to what the k/m equated to in miles, so the milaege shown is the actual mileage its covered now

cheers people, worked it out......shows 85k but it all works out to only 60k

 

i think some will be mph but some kph !!!

 

yep i have import receipts showing 69k was km, converted it to miles, then add the 17k it's done in the uk = 60k miles insted of 85+ that it's showing

 

50 kmh is about 31.07 mph, all dummie's on ere
