   Hey, if i was to to a Vts conversion on my 53 plate Vtr when i plugged in the Vts ECU wouldnt it add the mileage on the clocks and the milage on the Vts ECU up? If so is there anyway around this as i dont really fancy huge mileage on the clocks!
   
   Cheers

   the "mileage is stored in the ecu" is a myth....

   milage is stored on the clocks, i have two sets of clocks and i tried it with the origionals and the new one and when i changed back to the origionals it was the same after doing a few miles with the new one.

   its true on other cars, never a saxo or 106 though. I think it stems from newer cars with the BSI, its in the clocks and the bsi.
