i have recently bought a set of standard clocks but have 100K on them was wonderin if anyone knows how i can turn them down to 80k genuine miles my cars done?

 

dont you have to go to ford to get this all done legit so when u sell her you have proof of genuine milage an not been clocked etc. ???

 

i dont no that sounds gd though i ent asking no1 on here to clock my car or anything

 

i realise your not clocking your car, your not that kinda bloke i'm sure. defo worth a try askin at ford although i have no idea what they will charge!

alternatively note it down in the service history that its been changed and car has done 20k less than indicated!

 

strip the clcoks, (practice on your old clocks)

you can take the number real out and roll them back

or power drill on the cable and go all the way round

 

It all comes easily apart and then put the numbers back in any order you want.

 

Drill on the speedo cable... wind it up and let it run round...

 

When I replaced my clock I had to wind them on about 15k or something. Just put my drill on the back of the clock and wound it on. Took a wee while tho, although not as long as stripping them down would have.

As above, drill on the speedo cable!

 

Strip the clocks down and get a small flat headed screwdriver (Jewlers one ideal) and put in between the numbers, twist slightly and it will release from the next cog, spin the number round and release screwdriver!

 

And remember to turn off the 'hammer' function

Thats the only way to do it

dont do what i did n try manually move them with a screw driver

end up scraping most of the numbers off

 

Love that film!!

 

.....and roll on a whole hoard of fake-mileage RST's now that the whole world know's that it can be done!!

 

if you do it maunally thers a 90% chance that the numbers wont sit straight!

unless you completely take teh whole lot apart

where it would just be easier to make a note saying clocks were changed so minus 20k

why are you changing clocks?

 

thanks boys

Dont like the white dials so putting standard clocks back in

 

i think even RS turbo owners could figure it out for themselves

 

fair enough was going to say if it wasa just a fuel gauge or rev counter prob just swap that part over

drill if you want them to look correct then

 

So it aint been going on for over 15 years then


Position the drill in 1 vice, clocks in another hooked up to the speedo cable, turn the drill on, go make a brew, come back and check
