On a PC, right click on the image, select copy (Ctrl+C), then click into the body of your open message on here, right click and then click paste (Ctrl+V), it might take a while to load depending on your broadband speed but that should be it, as long as you have a PC that is :)
 
I did not get any books with my car , how do I know which Elgrand I have ?
 
Just purchased a e51 XL from Japan, have to wait 2 months now. Worried about the conversion to UK spec now

If it helps, I just ordered all these conversion items, and all were recommended in threads on the forum but feel free to choose your own, there are plenty of conversion options, plus read my updated signature below to see that it doesn't always take 2 months :)

Fog light switch - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B077M2Z2R4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Lockwood clock fascia (facelift version) - http://www.lockwoodinternational.co.uk/Elgrand-e51-part-no-c1332.html
Rear fog light - https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/1x-REAR-RE...R-VAN-BUS-CAB/172060273552?_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1

look like good bits, I've just bought the dials. I'll get the other bits too. Was that all you needed?

I think so from a conversion point of view and then anything else it needs to go through an MOT, although I will happily bow to others knowledge on the subject. There are whole sections on this subject. The odometer will still be in KMH, and there are other options to use a 'chip' to alter things (depending on your version) but yeah, I think so.

The rest is then down to what you feel you want to add, so optional or a must (budget dependant) to be on the safe side - decat/decore, undersealing etc. Best thing to do, is simply trawl the forum threads, have a good read, you'll start to see other info, check the advice from other members against the same model you have and then make your choices :) or ask more questions in the right sections and sit back and watch the advice roll in

You can also use a GPS Speedo if you didn't want to mess with the clocks in the car. But yea Speedo solution and fog light is really all you need.
