Odometer Reading
My speedometer has stopped working so I have bought a replacement set. I presume these can be simply swopped. However the odometer reading is not the same as that recorded by my recent MoT. Is there a way to adjust the odometer to reflect the true reading. Any advice gratefully received.

Re: Odometer Reading
could be the speed sensor or wiring fault rather than a clock fault, have you had it checked first?

Re: Odometer Reading
Hi and welcome to the forum.
You don't say which model you have, on early cars with a mechanical counter the digits can be adjusted but on later cars with the digital counter I don't think you can change the recorded mileage (although I guess if you had a brand new one you would be able to set the mileage using T4).

Re: Odometer Reading
Thank you it is an early one for an 'F'. Can I just turn the numbers to the required reading
Re: Odometer Reading
When we bought our '97 VVC it still had the Japanese KMS speedo. Bought a MPH set from MGFnTFBITZ and managed to adjust it, simple job - Where are you based?
Shortly after buying the car the speedo stopped, then the power steering, because the cable had broken at the gearbox. Check this first!

Re: Odometer Reading
You can adjust the mileage on any of the clocks pre-SIAC as i'm unsure on the ones from the last models.
