Hi Guys,

Quite a strange thing here, as they are about to hung the hangman... I do correct milage on cars, and I would like to buy one which hasn't been clocked :D

So apart from checking the obvious signs what should I check inside the car to see if it has been clocked or not?

The car I'm going to buy is the new Citroen C5 III. manufactured from 2008.

Is it possible to adjust the milage via the OBD plug, or is a dash out job? If so, anybody has a guide how can they remove the speedo in order to calibrate it - so I could check the bolts, plastics for signs of removal!

Thanks ahead guys! :)

i don't know why but i found this thread really strange.

you do this kind of job so i think you know how to check if car is clocked or not.

but for your infos, this car can be done almost fully OBD :D

Yeah do indeed, but I'm looking for certain signs, like for example to this car you would have to remove the dashboard and the BSI, so I could check aroundand see if they were removed or not...

I haven't done a C5 III. yet, that's why I'm asking.

But still, if it could be done via the diagnostic plug I'm screwed... Then I can only rely on the car's overall state!
