how can i add the 12k back on so there all straight??

cheers

im sure one of the zoner's would know which wires can make the millage spin up

[Herrity]

Or maybe down about 100k would be ideal !!!

[dazleeds]

have heard tales of drills shoved into clocks etc but aint gonna risk that till im sure and no exactly how

[schuey]

when i swapped mine the speedo was the only bit that worked so,I extracted it by undoing the four screws behind it and it justs pulls out-transplant in to new binnacle et voila!

If thats not an option then vauxhalls(cough) work by pulling the pin that numbers are on,out from its fixed position,you can then spin the numbers to where you want them. I was going to do this but the speedo transplant is far easier.

[dazleeds]

sadly swapping didnt work
i tried but the speedo just wouldnt work in the new cluster
started telling me i was doing 40 at standstill then zero at average speeds

I cant believe you of all people are asking for advice on "milage correction"? Dodgy Daz himself.

i did think that

Erm, a 'friend of mine' once had to do this on a golf, but the principal should be the same. Simply a matter of taking the clocks out and clicking the little wheels round with a small pointy thing. Have you ever seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off, maybe try jacking the back of the car up and sticking it reverse for a few hours? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Bueeeeelllllleeeeeeerrrrr!!!!

what a wicked film still makes me laugh it was on sky the other week

[dobbie82]

what milage do you want on it? perhaps one of us has a spare speedo that works with the right miles?

[Herrity]

Anybody got one with 100k on ? Could do with wiping 83k off mine. How dishonest of me

I meant whats the genuine milage on his car! I have one with 156k on (well will have when i break my 4dr) also have one with just 54k on! (if i get chance to break my 2dr)

I did the exact thing on mine, basically all you need to do is keep shorting the diff connections together, my dad got a double pole relay and energised the coil by its own normally closed contacts so as the relay energised it cut off its own supply. he connected the diff wires across the other pair of normally closed contacts.
the relay could only pulse fast enough to give a 90mph on the clock so for every hour it was running (all night, as i needed it the next day) it would only put 90 miles on the clock but it worked. There may be other ways of intervrention at the head itelf but this worked for me

Wheels on the E30 counter can be moved by hand easily enough. The mechanism is tough and won't break if you have any mechanical sympathy at all.
First time I've come across anyone wanting to clock a car upwards!!

[appletree]

It's nice to have you're car reading the rigth milage though! even if it is slightly higher than you might like!

[DanThe]

Just take the back off the clocks and 'flick' the wheels to read what you want, Ive done this on 3 of my cars when ive changed engines so the clock is set to the engines millage and not the cars

[appletree]

Do all the numbers still line up though? when i asked on here before i got replys sayin dont do it as the numbers will never all line up agiain

There are possible advantages, when making insurance claims, in having a nice low reading on the odiometer.
