Disconecting speedo cable

[densham]

cheers

[steff]

are you having a laugh?

Which insurance co. are you with?

[TonyHetherington]

Even if someone knew how to do it, I would be surprised if anyone here would want to tell you. I for one hope that when you come to sell your car, I am not looking to buy one.

Think of it not as dishonest to the insurance company, think of it as dishonest to Lotus owners and future Lotus owners.

It, quite frankly, is not on.

Yeh and how do you set it back to 0? Cos that's ok.

[Mr_C]

would you buy a car that had been used (hard) on track for 10000 miles of its life, but the speedo was disconnected so was only reading 1000 miles??!

I can see why you want to do it, but just record the mileages and if your insurance co asks just be honest with them - you weren't covered on the track anyway!!!

Talk to the insurance company - the limited miles is for on-road use, not on track (where you'll have to get seperate cover).

I know how to do it, but I'm not telling you for being dishonest about its mileage.

If you stack the car with the speedo disconnected, you will effectively find that you are not insured.

Besides, the ECU will run in safe mode without the speedo iirc. Not what you want on track.

If your policy is anything like mine -which is limited to 3000 a year - don't worry about it.

As i said i'm limited to 3000 but they dont know ((didn't request) the starting mileage! so how can they tell how many miles you have done!!!

I thought it only worked with fezzas? And remember never ever kick the car when you get moody.
