Clocking the Z32 odometer

Hello all,

My car has 'apparently' been converted from km/h to mph, and at the same time the odometer was done, although the guy wasn't 100% sure. I have all the paperwork from Z centre, but I don't think the odometer change box was checked, previous owner mentioned something about series 3/4 clocks not being able to change, I might still be recording in km!

Anyway I have about 102k of km on the odometer, and 5k of miles. I was wondering if I wrote a nice letter to the DVLA and whoever else explaining, could I try and find a way to set my odometer to read the correct number in miles for the vehicles life, i.e. 62k miles.

Does anyone know if you can even clock the Z32?? I know it might not be something we want to put up on a forum for all to see, but with MOTs going electronic and them recording the mileage clocking cars is getting a bit pointless.

Cheers
 
Hi,
I wasn't sure if my Z32 odometer was reading in miles, but I checked it against a known distance..in my case my journey to work.. which is about 21 miles.The odometer was correct and compared well with the reading on my daily car..
In my old Z32 the same distance was reading as nearly 30 "miles" which was clearly incorrect!
 
Jez: yeah I keep meaning to do something more than about 10 miles in my car and then pay attention to the mileage but I always forget :)

LOL thanks pmac


Guess I'll have a go myself and let you know if you can do it any sense. I'll ring the dvla lunchtime see what they think.
