Hi! I am on my 6th ex Japan Disco!!
All have been great. Do get a COMPLETE service asap. Don't skimp.
Why 6 you ask? Importing used cars from Japan is mega business in NZ and my brother + I import Euro cars from Japan as a buisiness. No diesels after 1998 in Japan so no TD5s :( My latest is a SII V8 with 65000Km (40300 miles). Mint. My last 1 was a 97 SI Tdi with 40000Km!! A new car!! BTW, Defenders go for DRUG MONEY!!! Dont go there!!!
Anyhoo get into it!! Am curious about the 'miles' on the speedo tho, or is that converted when back in the UK?

All Jap cars are RHD. Has the Speedo been replaced with a UK MPH set or have they just stuck a MPH conversion sticker set on?

Think you'll find the importer will have stuck an MPH sticker over the KPH speedo - seems to be standard practice and is what was done to my P38
The electronic tripmeter is still in kilometers though as is the fuel consumption read out (litres / 100 kilometers) - don't mind that bit as I cant comprehend the figures and scare myself with the consumption :lol:
AFAIK the only other alteration required for repatriation into the UK is the addition of rear fog lights - apparently not required in Japan for some reason
