milege odometre

[Greener]

hi

I have rebuilt 318i engine to race spec for a series this season. I would like to reset the milege odometre so i can tell how many miles the engine has done in between builds. Does anyone know how to do this, ie clocking it etc?

Many thanks

can you not save yourself an hours work and just write down the current mileage?

Not to hard and even easier to work out for yourself than explain on a forum.

Just take the dash clocks apart, remove the speedo/odometer part and play around with it, the barrel housing the numbers can be stripped and numbers replaced at any milage you want though this will always leave the tell tale sign of clocking that is misaligned numbers.

There are other ways I would prefer not to go into.

Greener, where about in Dorset are you? If you're near Wimborne bring it round for a bit of mileage correction!

I have just replaced my instrument cluster and lost 24k miles somewhere??. The cars 21 years old now and is fairly obvious its not done just over 100k. Do you think i bother trying to put the clock forward to the correct millage (assuming its not previously been clocked - 124k is pretty damn good i guess!) or just leave it and be honest the clocks were changed if i ever sell the car?

Any body care to go into said details mentioned above in more detail?
