Default Winding back the mileage!!!!

No its nothing dodgy!!

I have just bought a new set of clocks for my 3 door but i need to adjust the mileage down to about 80k.

These clocks are currently showing about 96k.

Is there a reletively straight forward way of doing this.

PM me if u like!!

Cheers,

Mark

I've no idea

Personally though, If you already got them both there, I'd undo the 2 screws at the back of odometer and just swap the original one into the new unit
