its do able so im told hopefully someone will confirm :?

but theres one obstacle i can see,
if you change the clocks the mileage from the new clocks adds to your old mileage :(
it wouid be hard to find a set of clocks with zero miles ,

iwas thinking of doing the same but idont fancy ending up with the mileage messed up,

I know when I had my capri the others used to write the mileage on the back of the clocks but I'm not sure what would happen with it being digital, wondering if the Mileage is in the clocks or the ECU!!

The clocks hold the Mileage but it apears on the 406 the Ecu holds some memmory,
ive added difernt clocks to cars before Ford and theyve not clocked up the original mileage,

seems the 406 is a clever car or it couid be the fact that 406 is comon for taxis and taxi drivers like a bit of triming now again,
there must be a way round it tho as ive known a few 406 taxis have low miles but there not honnest miles
iwill see if ican find out how they do it and what software and lead there using,
