is there away to put the miles back on a clock as i am intrested in getting this here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-MICRA-...ryZ10402QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem but it says 112 000 my car only has 34 000 miles

don't bother, just contact the DVLA, tell them you have new clocks and make them aware of the new mileage. Clocking cars (changing the milage) is illegal.

It isn't illegal at all, so no need to tell the DVLA.

The only person you need to tell is the insurance in the event of a claim, or the next owner of the car if your going to sell it.

Changing the numbers on a set of clocks is illegal
changing the clocks for other clocks is not illegal, but DVLA need to know cos when you have your next MOT the mileage won't add up.

Your milage isnt tracked. My milage went back 90 thousand and no one battered an eyelid. My previous post is correct.

 

[ollyc98]

Ok sorry, I had just heard that it was checked, hence very few people stick a drill on their gearbox to make the car lighter on the milage when it comes to selling

 

[Arnold]

I did say it was illegal if you didnt tell the possible new owner it has been clocked, so you heard correct, but otherwise it's fine

 

[ollyc98]

Oh cool, might get some new clocks without the annoying ticky clock, lols.

illegal if youre trying to mislead a potential buyer...

i take it your car doesnt have electric milage, cos that could cause problems (though im not sure how the electric version gets its miles)

 

[rlees85]

cant you just buy the new clocks then take your speedo out and put it into the new set ? on the old k11s. this giving you your orignial mileage.

 

[Arnold]

Yeah i believe that's possible.
