If anything, pull out your current speedo and hold onto it as a record of your km's and fit a BRAND NEW speedo cluster if you must.

Tampering with speedos is not cool

Why the hell would you bother clocking back an instrument cluster that you're planning to replace? Sounds pretty dodgy (and very illegal) to me mate...

Its not hard to turn it back, my dad knows how to do it. but for the sake of being illegal, no one will tell you just becasue you would be able to do it on many cars, even thought the new ones are digital and very hard to **** around with.

that's not what it says.

to the op, I'd suggest you hold onto the original - so that when you eventually sell the car - you can verify the true _original_ kms.

oops my bad

just leave it mate if someone wants it with lower KMs let them change it

more to the fact that there are other things that may go wrong with higher km's then just the engine. I also can't help but think that if i bought a car thinking it was 1/4 of what the dash said, i would either feel ripped off or it was a bad quality. (ie, the interior was bad for a 90k car but ok for a 120k car?)

just my two cents

    • Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old
    • Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.
    • Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!
    • I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
    • What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
