Do the millage counters go round and start again from 0?

The only reason is because im looking to buy a escort but it has fairly low milage, but its had a new head and bottom and rebuilt turbo etc. Just a bit iffy about it thats all.

Thanks.

i belive they do. if you dont have the paper work to prove the millage then i wouldnt belive anything you clocks say.

they are also very easy to change aswell. when i fitted new clocks into mine i changed the mileage to what my old clocks say, so hard to know the correct mileage unless it has all mot's to prove

jammerrs

could you do that with aftermarket speedos to get them to the cars milage?

s1cab, how did u do it, i once done it by pushing them round carefully with a flat head screwdriver but afterwards the numbers never lined up perfectly despite still working.

ah thats good, coz the new ones ive just got are on 69k, and my cars on 100k, would take alot of winding lol

lol i used a hand drill on my old nova clocks i was turning the handle for nearly 2 hours whilst watching tele and only managed 6 miles and needed to wind nearly 30,000
