You replaced the clocks with a new set? In that case I'm not surprised it's gone back to 0.

There are specialists that can reset the counter to anything you'd like. Some of these people are legit, most are clockers, or whatever you want to call 'em.

It wouldn't hurt asking at the dealership, I'm pretty sure they can change it for you again. In any case, the clocks need to come out again.

I'm getting the car serviced tomorrow at an independent garagist. Worth asking him to do it?

The bloke that may have been able to do it was sent to prison for clocking cars. So very slim are the chances of seeing my good old mileage on the car.
Unless one of you fine people could help me out??
Pretty please :lol:

a mate of mine can reset the digital mileometers.. he will not clock it to show less mileage though.

He's based in Lancashire - but is usually ok about travelling to a job..
Sheffield isn't that far.

if the clocks are out of the car he reckons it'd be £80
