seems all our rules and regs can be questioned and overturned if a fair case can be put forward, assuming they are written down somewhere |

Surely an engine can fail at 50,000 miles as well as 200,000 miles. What's the problem? |

How the hell do they make it take an hour to do this? Mileage correction can be done in a matter of seconds through the OBDll port. |

Get your engine "reconditioned" then. roll on the LC Reforms then we won't have to waste time discussing the foibles of local councils' whims on vehicle conditions and ages. |

Mileage correction can be done in a matter of seconds through the OBDll port. i know how it works..... but when tyre fitters, garages, test centres all log the mileages each time youd never keep up with it best to buy a 3 year old car on 60k, knock it back to 10K before its 1st MOT and lose the service book, although when you buy a car any dealer can track it and see if its been dealer serviced.....bugger |

I replaced the dash on my Mondeo with 300,000+ miles on it. At the first pit after that the tester said 'only 40,000 miles?', I told him about the dash change and the actual mileage was around 300k - new pit certificate shows mileage as,,,,,40,000 !
