i noticed the other day after pushing the button in after a fill up,my clocks no longer count the miles so its no stuck on 211,998 although the trip computer still works, is it an easy fix? or am i looking at new clocks??

im a bit dissapointed as i wanted to see it clock 212,000 miles,weird i know but its just another achivement i know i wont get with a different car!!

My local scrappy flogs clocks for £15, you just gotta go rip it out yourself. There's an 850 in there at the mo but it doesn't have the built in boost-o-meter.

The stepper motor for the odometer has gone. You can replace it on it's own for a better one and adjust the mileage to match your old one.

Oooh, technical! I didn't realise these weren't sealed but then, I've only ever stripped a P2 DIM. I bet it don't cost £735 to replace 850/P1 clocks! Bloody ford :(

I have a few sets of clocks in the garage, let me know whether you need 150mph or 160mph unit and ill sort you one out for the postage cost?

Is using the 160mph one instead of the 150 mph one like "turning it up to 11"? ;)

Recieved and replied, just seen that its the 160mph version after sending PM. Im certain I have one or two of that version kicking around.
