Technical Mileage on dashboard

[chaazureblue]

Sorry for odd question but. I've fit a slight dilemma.

I have clocked up 24,000 on my mileage but I don't want my dad to find out.

I can't remember if there is a way of hiding the mileage off the dash say when I am driving so he can't see it? I know I should tell him but going through enough at home.

Please could you advice me on what to do? Apart from not drive him anywhere.

Nope. No way to do this.

Maxi is right about that.
You could change the miles to Kilometres ! :idea:
and hopefully he wouldn't be able to do the maths on the conversion.

If you can't hid the truth at least it make it a little harder for him to find out.

Tippex?

Why would you need to hide the mileage from your father? Do you 'take the car for a ride' at night? haha

the only way you can hide it (i cant believe i am hearing this) is to clock it to show a false low mileage.


Once again i cant understand why you would do this and maybe you should just show the truth to your father

What about a nice decorative sticker or rosette? Or one of those sticky bug things!

Admittedly, probably, the strangest post I've seen on here.

Short of 'doing the dirty' and pulling out the odometer instrument panel and replacing it with one from a low mileage scrapped vehicle, you've blown it.

Come clean!

Ah, just thought, you probably can't do the above with these modern instrument panels seeing as they're all digital. Analogue you could do it.

You could take a photo of the odometer, photoshop it to show a lower mileage, print it out and then stick it over the offending correct mileage..............or just tell him!

The body computer holds the mileage IIRC. The instrument panel just displays it.

Both hold it

Why does it matter to your dad what mileage you have done

Maybe daddy has to pay the excess mileage charge

Buy another car with lower milage and transfer the number plate over to the new car and your dad will never know, or grow a pair.

Hope that helps

Ha, good point, but hiding it from dad doesn't mean it doesn't have to be paid.

Stick it in reverse for a few thousand miles...

Doesn't work on modern cars, that'll just recrease it by another few thou
