Wrong forum I know - but there maybe some non scooby owners lurking who'll have the answer.
When I got my STi 3 years ago, the dealer fitted a UK clock which sorted the speed calibration but didn't remove the speed limiter. I've now got the delimiter but for everything to work ok I'll have to put back the km/h clock which has now missed 20,000 miles in the meantime. How do I get the km/h mileometer to catch up - take it to bits, electric drill - anyone done this ?

It's embarassing hitting the speed limiter overtaking in 3rd gear

Cool

You should try asking one of the boys that works up in the city - thought that they had to do this each year to get their business miles up to reduce their company car tax

PS Yep, about as much help as normal

Do a web search on "mileage correction" and you will find that some will list Subaru's as "fixable".

Makes you think twice about buying a second hand car.

David/anyone,

How long would it take the drill @ 3,000 rpm to add 20,000 miles ?

...sounds well dodgy to me! Have you tried visiting any prisons, I'm sure there are plenty of people who can help you!
