Ive finally got my cable speedo clocks in, after battling with a set of diesel clocks.
but my actual car milage is about 70k but my new clocks read 98k
On the diesel clocks I dismantled them and gruellingly wound back from 95k to 85k, took me around 1hr 30 just by putting a pin in the main cog and rotating anti clockwise.
I've tried to use a drill bit in the rear of the clocks but its not connecting so thats no worky! I tried to do it at the gearbox end but In tooo much of a novice to know what I was looking at!
If anyone has any issue with me asking about rolling back the mileometer then just say. Im currently at my gf's house so cant produce any photos of my clocks, but I can assure you everything is legal and above board.
rather than reply where it can get into the wrong hands ie. google search, please reply in u2u if you've successfully done it.
thanx in advance.!

I understand what your saying, but its annoying!
Im sure If I get no luck on here, I've gotta do the old mind numbing method I attempted on the previous clocks!
hope someone can help!

flick the numbers backwith a small screwdriver, down the sides of each number dial theres small notches, push the screwdriver dwn the side into each notch, push them to the side (cant remember which) and flick them back.
