New dash display!

Post by Jimmy659 »

Hi,

Just bought a second hand dash display (eBay) for my 89 Autohomes Komet as mine was in a sorry state.

The one I received has 147,000 miles on the clock, whereas my van only has 113,000 miles, how do I go about changing the mileage on the odometer?

Can you wind the speedo cable backwards to run odometer backwards on these vans or is there some kinda security device to stop this? ( Cant say ive ever tried )

If so just attach an electric drill to speedo input and power it back....

Why don't you swop your speedo over into the new dash.

Nicq, common sense wasn't on the agenda today. Just swapped it over....took seconds!

Thank you.
