MX3 Clocks
-
Got a new set of MX3 clocks today as mine are broke. The new clocks only read 63,000 miles but mine have 83,000 on them. I want to get the new clocks to the same reading, so that i carnt get into any trouble woth regards to clocking and so on.
So is there anyway to ajust the mileage on the clocks. I went to mazda today but they didnt want to know.
I need to get these clocks on ASAP but i really want them to have the correct mileage on :D
-
take down the milage on the onld ones and the new ones when they goin take it with you to get an mot and jkeep it in your paperwork so they know when it happend then there will be no troble

Drive round in reverse for 20 000 miles!!!!!!

-
Thanx i know i can take the old ones but i really wanted the mileage to be correct on the clocks. So can it be done.
-

Not seen that film for ages…...
Gonna have to go download it now.
-
i have it on dvd :D
-
you can reverse the clocks just don't get caught or you will be in more trouble than it's worth…
I would advise just keep a log as others have suggested

i had the same problem on my fiesta, i just pulled out the number barrel and swapped it into the new set, took about 30mins. I tried spinning them with a drill but it only took the needle to 40mph so would have taken years to do 20000 miles!!
wokr out how to remove the barrel on your broken set before fiddling with the set that work!
-
do what James said, just swap the barrels over, if you try and change the clocks by hand they will be out of sync when you put it back together, when someone has a close look they'll think its clocked.
oh and he needs the clocks going up not down :P
-
yep i had to get a new set of clocks when i busted my fuel/temp guage putting in reverse dials, ( as many have done !! ) You can take out any of the three dials, so just take out defective dial and insert it into your current dials.
-
Thnak you for all your help on this matter. I have just finished fitting my new clocks and indiglo dials, and dial rings. Will put pics up on my project later. :D
