What the hell is a "tumble drier"? Do you mean to dry your clothes? So you are telling me that you do your laundry in the garage? No wonder we wanted our independence! Ha Ha! Anyway, possibly an unorthodox question here but here I go. I had a solid 2 1/2 season run of starting relating electrical gremlins before I got it sorted and now it's perfect. Dash never resets, barely needs choking, etc. The clocks and such used to reset all the time but never the actual odometer. I intend to be buried with this bitch along side me so it's not to defraud anyone. I would just like to cause it to reset so my pals will quit f'n with me that she's old, slower, and not worth as much because of the miles. I figure that soon enough after resetting to zero, I will run her back to a believable numb, right?
