This is the centre clock conversion loom, as far as i know all you do is match the wire colours to the ones on your two clocks, i think you need a different speedo cable and different bulbs too. But get someone esle to confirm caus im not 100% sure

Is there not a way of using a drill to turn them back? Or have i been watching to many bad old school movies!

plus is it not illegal to do that anyway, it wont match your v5 or mot certficate anymore so if the police ask for these they might ask some questions, i dont know how it works with a new engine though!

Zero miles will be fine, after all thats the amount frecks gonna travel if you spend your money on tat like this rather that getting him fixed up properly!!

FOCUS DUDE........FOCUS!!!
