Default Changing odometer reading in brisbane

I changed my cluster to an XR8 one, where do I go in brisbane to get my KM's changed over? How much will it be?

Also, anyone know how to stop the coolant LED from flashing? Looking at the manual, it says the LED is warning for coolant in resoivoir for V8, which being i6 I'm not.

Thanks.

Truck and Bus instruments in Fortitude Valley down the lane next to the Pool should be able to do it.

I know there was a guy on fordmods who built a device to do this as well, you have to prove the original odo count, and why you are changing it, he then sends it pre-programmed works once, you return it and get your deposit back.

Yes VDO can change the kms back, as they are the ones that made it in the first place. A Ford Dealer should be able to do it as well. You'd need to provide some proof as to what & why the kms are changing and whether they are correct.

Some electronic engineer's may be able to do it as well. Like Auto EMF, I guess can.
