Has anyone ever changed the speedo dial on a 1999 Ducato. Mine is as per the photo below.

If so how easy was it ?

Why do you need to change it?
If it is to change from KM to miles then it's just an overlay you stick on.

Try Lockwood Dials www.lockwoodinternational.co.uk . They don't list the old Ducato but they may have stock if you phone. That said, I haven't bothered converting our 2004 Ducato as it's not needed for the mot and nor are the headlights (just use LHD-RHD beam benders). Initially, I just had a label stuck on the dash with 10, 20, 30 etc mph and the kph equivalent alongside, tho you soon get to know the equivalents or you can rely on your satnav.
I changed one, not too bad taking it out but fiddly getting speedo cable onto new one, all in all took me about 2hrs.

What regs? You definately don't need an MPH speedo for the MOT: mine has had 3 mots with no problems ever, though they do tend to write the KM value as the miles value on the certificate duh: the only things you need to do to a LHD vehicle is move the foglight to the right and stop the headlights dipping to the right, which can legally be done with tape on the lens or a LHD beam bender off ebay (not the RHD ones you buy in shops here which dip the other way).

It's the construction and Use regs.
