Right, I appreciate this is gonna sound dodgy, but please read my explanation! I have a Corsa B Swing, this has dials that are lacking the Rev Counter. I brought some Pre 97 GSi clocks the other day that are also cable driven like mine, with the Rev Counter. Problem is, the GSi clocks show 130,000 and im currently on 126,100. I was wondering if there is a way of altering the mileage on the new clocks I want to fit? I assume it can be done, I just dont know how. Any ideas people?

its a tricky job because as far as I know its a sealed unit ,similar situation with putting red diesel in your car its a 1 in a 100 chance ull get caught but ud hate it if u did,but i can understand your reasoning

It's 4000 miles, your car has gone over 100k so no one cares. I wouldn't bother.
It is also not a similar situation to putting red diesel in your car. You could put your clocks back to 0 miles if you really wanted to, it would be perfectly legal.

yeh its 4000 miles that i want taken off - i cant b bothered with the hassle of explaining the situation come MOT time, when i sell it or whatever, and even if i took photgraphic proof etc, it prob wouldnt be that helpful. Surely someone has done it before?!

do a google search for "mileage correction", theres plenty of places doing it so it has to be legal if done for the right reasons.

just drive in reverse for 4000 miles
shouldn't cause any probs with mot... would only cause probs if you took it to mot with it showing less miles on clock than last certificate shows... and that would only cause probs come selling time

But it's only 4000 miles, no one is going to say to you, oh, well I would have given you £800 for your car, but as it's on 130,000 miles now I will only give you £200. Also, you have nothing to explain at the MOT, your car just has 4000 extra miles on the clock. You're wasting your time.

Read the post fool. He said he is on 126,000 miles and the new clocks are on 130,000 miles. Also, if you do alter the milage on the clocks you will be causing problems for yourself because the digits on the odometer wont line up correctly anymore and will be a dead giveaway the car has been clocked.
