    I recently read that having over 40k miles on the clock is degrading of the cars value..
    So could somebody point me in the direction of how it is best to disconnect the odometer as I have watched Ferris Bueller and know running the car backwards doesn't take the mileage off....

    Well it was a movie.

    They were wrong. With a mechanical speedo it works quite well given enough time.

    I hope you are joking. The last thing we need is to know that we here condone defrauding future purchasers. But it is very easy to do. I'm proud of my cars miles.

    Leave the shenanigans to the movies and the 308s. Previous dealers of the latter were notorious for it anyway.

    If a person disconnects the odometer the car will still go over 40K miles. The only difference is that the owner is a liar, a cheat and in many cases a criminal.

    just disconnect the sensor wires...sensor is on the right side, RHD like your car, drivers side, behind rear wheel.
    But your are just fooling yourself...you will not be able to see how fast you drive...and will collect one ticket after one other.
