...have I put them back in the right place. They fell out when I took the needle off to replace the speedo face and I'm not sure where they should be.
Does the photo below look correct.
I've only had my Bongo a couple of weeks. When I looked at it I was told the odometer was in Km but assumed the speedo was reading in MPH. I only realised the speedo was in KPH on the drive home from picking it up, which I find strange 'cos the van has been in the UK for 4 years. I thought the speedo had to be in MPH to be UK legal?

That looks right, provided you've fitted two weights, one on top of the other.

Yes Simon~one on top of the other~some people put a spot of superglue on em to keep them there~as regards to speedo i thought same as you,that you had to have it in MPH to be legal.

I was going to glue them in but I wasn't sure they were in the right place! The dash is all back together now, so hopefully I wont ever need to it all to bits again. I put the needle back on with the ignition on so fingers crossed it's reading correctly, not quite sure how to check as I don't have a SatNav, I may need to try and borrow one.

Were quite lucky round here~theres them speed limit signs that flash when you approach them saying 28~30 ~35 etc; whatever speed your doing & there quite accurate.
