Just open it up and move the dials round, it is quite easy to do. You may find there are security screws around the casing but they are easy enough to remove.

i have taken the dash apart a few times to alter the milage to what it was on my old clocks, just remember where all the screws come from
and if they are security screws, junior hack saw or dremel cuting disc and small flat head screw driver works a treat

i thought so as its still a analogue mileage.

open it up and the speedo bit unscrews there enough play to move the first wheel left enough to turn it knocking 100.000 of the reading.

jim wire it up aand power it up, unscrew the transducer, and spin it very quickly. a drill isnt fast really

I have read some rubbish now.....


it is a digi dash, and it will have a memory chip with battery backup.
fitting a drill would eventually do it, but it will take forever....as long as you work out how to independantly power it up away from the car...

as for people who want to reset normal speedos, it really only takes a couple of minutes to undo the clock from the dash, remove the metal shaft that runs thru the middle & then reset the tumblers to read whatever you want, and reassemble it.
