I'd like to replace my euro cluster for a UK version. How difficult, or is it even possible to change the mileage to match the existing km reading?

is it a motormeter or vdo unit??

if its motormeter then there a few "how to" online that show you step by step.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

it should say either VDO or motermeter on the front face.

if the guide you've found is the one on R3V then that is a good one, i used it to resett a set of clocks a while back.

Just checked, it's a VDO unit and there doesn't seem to be a write up for this.

i found that when i was looking, can't see there being much difference between the two.
