It is possible to directly replace a Japanese speedo head unit with a UK one of the appropriate type. The only official source of replacement units is direct from Toyota, although some owners have been able to install MPH speedos from scrapped UK cars. Prices for a new head unit vary from around £98 for a standard cable driven head to £140 for an electronic version.

"One trillion (actually 1,043,703,665,299.36) yen equals $8.8 billion - the total subsidy to Japanese automakers for the 2.2 million vehicles Japan exported to the U.S. in 2006 resulting from Japan's weak yen policy. At 118Y to the dollar, Japan's yen subsidy provides the average imported Japanese car a $4,000 windfall cost advantage over U.S. automakers - a windfall that ranges up to $10,000 per vehicle for higher-end Japanese imported SUVs such as those sold by Toyota under the Lexus brand.

All UK Toyota Dealers should be able to source parts for the Japanese Turbo, although it appears that some are less willing than others to go to the trouble of doing this. To get the correct part code of the item required, the dealer needs the chassis number and other data from the chassis plate under the bonnet. This is then sent on a fax to Toyota GB HQ with details of the part required, and Toyota UK then fax the part code to the dealer for them to order though the normal part ordering system.
