clocks question

[workhorse '90 8v]

the girlys car still needs new clocks.

how hard/ is it possible to change the mileage ?

i've seen a set with 150k but her car is only on 115k
is it possible to rewind it?

I would like to know myself.

I dont think you are allowed to rewind clocks or I would be doing it

You get the milage recorded on both clocks so that it doesnt effect the original milage.

It is not dificult to adjust the mileage and I cant see why it would be illegal if you were changing the clocks to match the correct mileage of the vehicle after all you are not changing the history of the car, just the clocks !!

I will look into that too. MOT is in july  
kidding

hi-speed drill in the back of the clocks or on the end of the speedo cable- that way the digits are still properly alligned

just leave it running go for a cup of tea - check occasionally

its only illegal if you show less miles than are on the car

I know you can wind a clock on with this method.  But can you rewind it??

Are there no little things to stop the clocks being clocked?!

[Gambit]

it aint possible to rewind it unless you take the clocks apart and move the digits yourself

otherwise technically driving in reverse would knock miles off your car!!

Thx mate, this is the car that cost me ?500  

The wheels are O.Z Super turismo's although I feel the previous owner had a kerb fetish  :-[

Oh and to let you know, the clocks on the mark 2 can be dismantled and put forwards or back quite easily with a normal drill, using a simple method. You can take them apart and move the clocks individually I assume but they will then be out of line and would be a lot of hastle to put back together.
