Mileage gone lower??

[LSOfreak]

Ok im very confused right now..

A friends 1.1 mk2 saxo didnt start for whatever reason. When he started it later, the clock had reset and the mileage also, back to 885 miles LOL! so now its most probably the lowest mileage saxo britain, what has actually gone wrong, and what can be done to cure this odd problem lol?
anyone

[mlawlan69]

haha.

how many times did he reverse round the world?

[SouthernServiceAndTuning]

new set of dials by the sound of it, some where along the line the dials memory has been corrupted by incorrect voltage

[LSOfreak]

thanks, is it nothing to do with the ecu then?

[m4tt274]

you have the attention of every wheeler dealer on the site.

[SouthernServiceAndTuning]

some cars have the ecu record mileage aswell as the brains in the dial's but not in this case because if it had been logged in the ecu it would of reset and put the dials true

[scaff19]

Ring up a milage correction service and ask if that can put 80k ON
Make sure he records the convo lol

[m4tt274]

there is a milage correction service?

[LSOfreak]

lol yeah i was just thinking that?

[MuZiZZle]

just do 80k out of gear, simples

[Brettles1986]

Keep it running outside the house with a brick on the accelerator for weeks on end lol

[LSOfreak]

lol for 80k! that means the mileage on the car will be like 160k lol

[chinkostu]

You sure its not the trip meter? :p

Saxo's dont. Mileage is stored on the clocks only.

[welshpug]

LMAO at the run it out of gear, that wont work...

why bother?

[LSOfreak]

nothing much to do apart from buy some clocks with a similar mileage on them i guess, would be cheaper than getting someone to alter the mileage

[welshpug]

why bother? its a cheap shitter, nobody cares.

[LSOfreak]

its only gonna matter when it comes to the next mot and reselling it etc..

i personally think its pretty cool to have the only saxo under 1000 miles :cool: lol

[welshpug]

no it wont matter tat the mot, nor when they sell it, it only matters if you try and sell it falsely declaring the mileage.

Friend of mine paid £30 to have his mileage changed. Its not that expensive and most will come to you.
