Mileage correction and converting from miles to kilometers

[RyanO]

Foxy, or anyone that knows, after swapping the clocks EXACTLY how did you sort out the mileage ??

When I changed my clocks it added 30k to my mileage. This didn't really bother me at the time as I knew what the true mileage was, but now I want to sell the car and need to get it corrected.
I still have the original clocks that read 68k at the time that I removed them. At the moment she's reading 145k miles.
I'm a bit confused as to whether the mileage is stored on the clocks or the ECU or both. It a D8 BTW.

I brought my car back to South Africa from Ireland. The locally sold Peugeots read kilometers so my cars miles gives it away as a grey import. This has a negative effect on the value i.e. it's suddenly worth zero.

I can get a set of clocks from a local scrapyard that shows kilometers but I'm not sure if the ECU will automatically convert from miles to kilometers and if it ADDS the mileage then I'm really screwed. Not the kind of thing you want to chance.

ive got the same sort of problem at the moment, ive got a different instrument panel in my car which displays 146,000 whereas the mileage of my car is 107,000, the mileage is stored in the PCB of the instrument panel, there is a way to adjust the mileage with abit of careful soldering to the PCB if you have a sagem panel, but im not entirely sure how to

[kebab22]

can the dealers change the mileage ?

Now why would they want to do that? (Of course they can...)

[kebab22]

if you were to fit a second hand set of clocks could they adjust them to the right mileage?

[kebab22]

anyone ?

Anyone worked out a way of doing this?

Ive recently bought a 2.0 16v petrol with about 130k on the clock

paperwork suggest the same, jump started one day and now its flicked right round to 400k

Ive got my mot soon and if it still says that when i mot it, it will be recorded forever that ive done 270,000, in a year...

think its time to talk to the main dealer or
was watching watchdog a few weeks ago and a bloke with a laptop clocked a car in 3o secs,and theres people that advertise this service in autotrader so maybe worth a call.
