Importing Irish car into UK
I've moved from Ireland to the UK and now need to think about re-registering my 2008 BMW 320d E92. It looks quite straightforward apart from the fact that I need to get the speedo swapped across to mph from kph. Do you know who I might find to do this for me in the Hampshire/Surrey.
And then secondly would I be better off trying to sell it in Ireland and buying a car in the UK is their a specialist in the UK that might be able to help me with this or should I just bite the bullet and change it to a UK car.

I don't know the market in Ireland. But used car prices have shot up in the UK in the fist weeks of January, so probably better to keep the car and re-register it in the UK.
