I get what you are doing and of course it is an absolutely fair thing to do but you are never going to achieve that by changing the instruments with second hand ones. The only way is to either get yours corrected to the mileage recorded in the cars central computer, or buy a new one at a dealer - the mileage will be correctly set as part of the installation process as Clan says....

It's a little strange as I believe on the P3 models the mileage on a DIM will sync to the CEM shortly after it's been installed.
I always thought Liverpool is a Republic country 😅 thanks for your support and feedback, I phoned dealer but they didn't return my call, it is the best I pop in their branch in person, anyway I will come back with updates it might be a reference for future inquiries 🤞

Best to pop in if you are passing, then they can't ignore you :-)

My belief is they would not agree to correcting the mileage on your car as it is winding it back, but they can verify the correct mileage in the CEM and if you don't ask you'll never know.
