I have changed instrument clusters before, only because of failure, have had the ks adjusted to the original k's of the car its going into by Speedline instruments in Wangara, had a cluster with 400,000+ ks adjusted back to the 135,000 that was on the car it went into.
All of this is not illegal to do, but to not tell the next owner is though I just put a brand new cluster in my 2010 Fuso, so it currently reads 105 ks |

There was a rort in France some years ago, if you bought a vehicle for commercial purposes (more tax benefits IIRC) after a fairly low mileage/time threshold you could re-register as a private vehicle and keep or sell. It was economical enough to buy some types of car, park them up several months and then flick the speedo forward. I understand it was almost done to order!

Not too hard to find as it seems they would be in plenty of OS cars.

But I have a few cars so ive only done 80k in the last 7 years, not sure i'll get to the million anytime soon... plus the original cluster isnt in it anyway , it was scratched up and the push thing broken so I changed it. Original cluster was a bit over 720,000 when removed. Have clocked up 80 on the wrecker replacement. No intention of selling this car, still have the orig. cluster anyway and could swap the plastic cover and fix the reset button i suppose. |
