Has anyone ever wandered why there mileometers only go up to 99999?

Did ford not expect them to last any longer? LOL All it means is my cars only done 2100 miles! GreaT :P

The only one i know that will display 100k miles, is some of the MK3 Fiesta Speedo's, some had the extra Digit, and some didn't.

I watched the S2 do the 100k mark when my mate had it. It's now on 167k but had a full rebuild 12k ago.

The S1 is also over the 100k mark: currently around 128, but again has had a full rebuild not long ago.

I also think the trip counters should be 4 figures: then it's quicker and easier to work out it's next servicing schedule.
