    Japanese Imports

    Hello Everybody.

    I've got a Japanese import V70 2.5T.
    It's a cracking motor but the speedo is in Km/h, the radio has a limited range in the UK and the fault codes as displayed on the dash are in Japanese!
    I can live with the first two issues, but the last one is concerning.

    Does anyone know of a way to (cheaply) change the operating system language from Japanese to English?

    For info it's a 2005 model, trim level "Ocean Race" Auto Petrol and (although I was assured that it hadn't been tuned - for insurance purposes!) it has metal "BSi" petals and seems very lively compared to a 2005 2.5T I owned a few years ago.

    Thanks in advance for any responses.
    Phil
