AdzC Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hi. I take it you are getting a code 42 fault? I have just converted and delimited mine with a Thor DSC+TSD combined. I got some dials from Metal Monkey and had a crack at it myself, took me about 3 or 4 hours to do everything. I'm afraid I can't advise on any companies that will do it for you though.

Guest carrotts Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Surely there will be somewhere that i can get my mileage adjusted from kilometers to miles. I want it documented too! :-S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Thor selling there DSC+TSD again now or did you buy yours second hand? Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) Hi. I take it you are getting a code 42 fault? carrotts - can you answer this? Surely there will be somewhere that i can get my mileage adjusted from kilometers to miles. I want it documented too! :-S Unlikely that it's possible (legally, and even if it is I don't know a company that can do it, sorry.

marbleapple Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 ?? Unlikely that it's possible (legally, and even if it is I don't know a company that can do it, sorry. Why wouldn't it be legal? I thought it had to be an accurate reflection of mileage? If you just turned KM to miles then surely that would be ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) Why wouldn't it be legal? I thought it had to be an accurate reflection of mileage? If you just turned KM to miles then surely that would be ok? So why don't we know how & where it can be done? I remember probaly 3 years ago, not long after Lucifer (Martin) set up the unfortunate mkivStore, he advertised that he'd found out all the legal implications of tampering with an odometer and that he thought he'd found a legal way round all the pitfalls etc etc, so would soon offer the service to those with imported cars... AFAIK, he never did. That was the closest thing to achieving the desired result that I can remember, and it basically got nowhere. EDIT here is the thread I had in mind.

dannysupratt Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Yes it can be done, it was done on my last facelift car which was completly genuine and so was was the trader so i cant imagine it being illegal. I may be wrong but ive never been wrong in my life ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdzC Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Are Thor selling there DSC+TSD again now or did you buy yours second hand? Carl I bought mine new from Thor over the phone. Very quick delivery too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 So why don't we know how & where it can be done? I'm not saying it can/has been done, just that i couldn't see why changing it to the accurate mileage would be illegal. There may be statute out there which says it is, but I would be amazed why.

megawatts Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Just declare it, and note the KM reading, then all you do is paass this dat on to the next owner. DVLA dont care, I told them no problems. The MoT people do not care if its KM or Miles. They still write down your odometer reading as MILES, regardless of it being KM!
