If the front wheels lifted, and engine left running will it add mileage to the speedometer

colm_mcm · 27-01-2018 1:48pm

Of course. As long as the wheels are being turned.

Is it Front wheel drive?:)

Thanks for that. Would there be a problem with overheating. I need to add 1000 to the present reading

1000 miles jogging on the spot wouldn't be great for it i'd say. Minimum of say ten straight hours at high revs under no load.

Dodging VAT?

Can ya not find someone to clock it would be better than putting that pressure on engine and wastin the fuel.

No intention of doing anything illegal. Must stay within the law.

A couple of road trips are in order so.

A trip around Ireland should put those miles on.

Just drive to Galway and back a few times.your less likely to possibly ruin your car.

Surely you've seen Ferris bewler

For all we know OP could be from Galway.

Wild Atlantic way will apparently add 2500km.

Atlantic Dawn · 28-01-2018 1:17pm

Base of the M1 to where it meets the border with NIRL is 50 miles, do 20 laps, about 45 minutes a lap, 15 hours worth.

homer90 · 31-01-2018 4:58pm

If something special/unique/exotic, Ill get those miles on for you. FOC.

iognaid · 31-01-2018 5:31pm

Out of curiosity, how would increasing mileage help someone avoid VAT? God help the environment if there's some loophole which encourages people to drive 1000km needlessly to save a few quid.

In the old days it would only be necessary to disconnect the speedometer cable at the wheel end and use an electric drill to spin the miles up. Probably all electronic now.

BIK i think..

There is one dodge when someone buys a car in uk less vat for export if it has less than 6k miles on it as vat will have to be paid here.
If someone runs up the clock and does away with all original receipts from the purchase, they could possibly avid the vat here as its not payable if over 6k miles on the clock.
It is not legit but has been done.
Id strongly suspect that this would come back to bite though.

With no air flow through the grille I’d say she would get fairly hot.youd want to be sure the fan cuts in.id drive it around instead.safer. If she fell off axle stands or whatever you were using she would take off like a rocket ship.also while the wheels are spinning you would have to make sure no kids or anyone or dogs etc got near it or they would get mangled.
