Thanks guys - pretty useful, as I actually couldn't get my head around how it would work. Clearly not right to completely reset the odometer, as the rest of the car has done a few miles, but somehow needs to register that the engine isn't as old as it may appear...

Not looking forward to having to tootle around like Miss Daisy for a while, but at least it's a new engine (well, will be when it arrives)!

Currently looking like a minimum of a 2 week wait - and patience isn't something I'm blessed with...!!!

I think they will correct the odometer reading due to the engine change.

Nope as that would be classed as clocking and is illegal, they will / should stamp the service book showing the mileage at engine change.

I crashed my motorbike when I'd done about 10,000 miles and totalled the speedometer.  When I got the thing back fixed (with a new speedo) it was back at zero, and nobody made any note of it anywhere!
