[quote="madmax"]I guess the state goverment office of fair trading is wrong! haha At some point you will sell the car, when you do you have committed a crime, hope they lock you up!
You really have no f**k idea! and you don't know me so stop trying to pretend too. Iv'e been around cars for a f**k long time, my experiance comes from doing not asking questions and reading a forum. When I learnt there wasn't even an internet, so f**k off. If you had half a brain you would have done a search on the web and found all the info you needed without coming here to ask people questions on how to illegally tamper with a odometer. Your nose is running again little girl. Run along home and get daddy to wipe it for you. Oh and NO I will not be selling it. I keep all my cars. I have a shed and a paddock filled with them. Your a legend in your own glove box. Mr Know NOTHING.

jeezus and i thought my 17 year old friends were bad. But honestly dude madmax has been around cars alot longer then you have. If your not gonna at least consider his advice then i would consider you slightly stupid, just think of it as constructive critisism or something
As for setting the odometer back you could prolly do it yourself if your dealing with an electric odometer. There is a EEPROM chip on the back of the cluster (see the pic below from Xyphoid's doco) and you may be able to simply replace it, although im guessing you would need proper mounting tools to do so since its surface mounted. But try it youself that way you learn more
<img src="http://www.fordmods.com/Images/EEPROM.jpg"> If its a analouge counter im guessing you might just be able to crack it open and turn it back 
Finding that specific EEPROM might be a little hard also, but my take on it is if your willing to put the time and money into it you'll learn alot more then you will by just taking it to someone who can do it for you!! |

And just how long have I been around cars do you have ANY IDEA? You don't know anything about me and yet you are saying madmax has been around cars longer then me. How do you know this? are you psychic? 
As for his advice, I did consider it. That is why I went straight to the Department to find out the TRUTH of the matter. It showed his advice was CRAP. Further still I found that shop that another member who came here with the genuine intent of helping instead of just giving s**t gave me. It was very helpful. Not only did that place show me exactly how to do it they also didn't charge me. Also they pointed out exactly what the department of transport said. As long as I don't sell the car and I disclose the original K's to insurance companies or anyone else that asks I haven't broken and laws.

I used to and occasionally still do work on instrument and odometer repairs on different instrument clusters.
You need a statutory declaration if you want to wind back the k's. I zero'd my ute's odometer myself. A rebuild that has cost in excess of $20,000, not to mention the time involved. I would wind it to its original km if i went to sell it, but i don't EVER plan on selling it so i don't care.

as far as selling the car goes the easiest way to do that is to wind back a replacement and keep the original as it is and it must be sold with the car with the original k's on it. that is what i found from qld transpor twhen i did a new cluster on an escort about 10 years ago. hope this is some help.

btw madmax, qld has different laws to vic and nsw/everywhere (qt is the softest transport office i know of... like you buy your car, and never need a roadworthy till you sell it... sweet!). much better imho, even though i have always thought any tampering was illegal, you learn many a thing from strange people. we all just need to relax

it is not illegal to wind back an odometer per se....
why do people treat the odometer as this sacred item? you can fix whatever you like but dont touch the precious odometer!!!! the only crime that some r breaking is fraud!! if u wind the odometer back with the intent to defraud then u r commiting a crime..... as long as he is not trying to pass the car off (defraud) to the buyer as original k's he is fine...

Another old thread that has been dug up! hehe PWC666 sounds like a nice fella doesn't he? Careful now, he's spent an entire $5,000 which has given him a new car (geez the car company's must be making a killing if its only costing $5,000 to completely overhaul everything!)
What a knob... you offer someone some advice and they shoot ya down, but obviously PWC666 knows best :S Just goes to show you get genuine idiots in every walk of life... even on fordmods.

I just reckon it is silly to get all worked up over things like that. This forum is all about people helping each other out, and sharing their achievements with regards to their cars with people who enjoy the same sort of things. (well thats what I believe fordmods to be all about) The best thing people can do on this forum is take advice from everybody and use what they see to be helpful. No point getting all worked up. I cant believe this thread turned so bad over a speedo. Imagine what would happen if it was some guy mouthin off about fords jumped on the forum, u would need to go to church the next day just to be forgiven for the language!! LOL

Not to but in here....BUT in QLD at least you can do what ever you want and as long as you keep a record of when you made the change (original k's) and have it signed by a JP, QLD transport does not care. I went in when I changed the cluster on my EF. Went for 600,000 to about 200,000k's. I was all worried and had everything signed and dated and verified by JP's the people that sold the cluster, everything. QLD transport said that it can't even be recorded on their system. That's right the odo reading isn't recorded. It's all kept on their paper files, but not on the computers. They said as long as you have some record and when you sell it you advise the person then you have done nothing wrong.
And the guys in Toowoomba are located just in front of Humphery Motors (Alfa workshop) near the Hospital. cheers Scott
