That 'H'

All new Stilos come from the factory with the H before the mileage so that after the PDI they take the H off and the miles go to zero. Dealer had forgot to do it. Even better was it is solved by holding in trip for 5 seconds, so my 100 miles to date have dissapeared forever along with the 'H'

How can that be legal? Surely its a form of clocking? [V]

Thats what I thought, the only thing I can think of is that it would have turned itself off at 50, 100 etc miles. I asked the dealer and he said some people won't take a car with miles on it from new!

custard has donated! United Kingdom 
i know that some VW,s and probably others have a setting accesable by the dealer to knock of delivery mileage,i think about 40km so when you get your new motor its fresh and virginal(ooooohh) and as long as its truly only the delivery mileage its fine but lets be honest there is always someone who will find a way to clock a car

Well strickly speaking you probably can if a car manufacturer is going to code a back door like that! It won't even be clocking, not as far as the computer is concerned! [V]
