Right,

My Car is Showing 76k on my original Clocks. and its also recorded at 75k on my last Mot. Ive recently fitted Digi's and its showing 55k. Im wondering if my car that is booked in for a mot in four days will pass?. Few people have said, if its not a major increase, they MOT'ers wont even notice (Cheers XnovaX:thumb:).
But there bound to notice a sudden drop of 20k!

Can anyone help?? :confused:

On my SRI I had the original clocks showing 90k, then fitted a 8v digi dash reading 130k, then a 16v digi dash reading 75k. Was over a few years and had MOT's done with each dash fitted and no questions asked.

Mine went from 70k the MOT before last to 11k after fitting a digidash the same as you. He wasn't fussed. If you're worried or want it to read correctly then change the mileage reading to what it should be.

ive done mine because i dont want people looking at it and seeing its done xxx amount of miles, when its done like 45k, plus i can keep track of how many road miles shes done haha

edit: ive put mine back to what it was when i bought it, so it looks like it hasnt travelled, because on the sorn we put down the mileage, and when we fill in tax etc its gotta have the same mileage, just to be sure

worst case scenario always keep your original clocks, and make it so it only has done 23 miles or whatever in a year lol

doesn't have to, could of been used on a track, and it wouldn't need tax for that ;)

If your driving it on private land it isn't a problem anyway.

To be honest I'd probably set the clocks to the mileage of the car rather than leaving it as potentially when you come to sell on it may cause a bit of suspision when the buyer is looking through your history. You never know they might just walk away.
