You cant, and I hear that if you fit a new cluster with say lower k's on it, the ECU just sets it back to what it was.

Just like in Ferris Buellers Day off mate. Jack it up and stick it in reverse and watch the Ks go backwards. NOT!

why do people ask these questions? your car has done the km's, so deal with it. you wouldn't want to buy a car which has the km's wound back - so don't do it yourself!

If you change a speedo in EF/EL - AU they don't reset to what the car was originally. They keep the k's that that speedo has done.

Do you guys ever think that his old speedo may have died and had to replace it with a higher kms one?
Or he wanted a different version cluster or something?

EA is a very different breed of animal to the EF/EL. I also believe mileage is stored in the instrument cluster of the EF/EL.
