How do i turn back mileage?

I think it's assembled there. Built implies it's actually intended to stay together...

Yes, but the 'fix' involves correcting the increment variable in the BSI so that it increments in miles rather than km from that point on, but they don't (i.e. have been specifically instructed by peugeot not to..) reset the mileage reading to the correct value. If you whinge at peugeot for long enough they extend your warranty to shut you up.

I supsect they are concerned about people who have already had the correction going to another dealer at a later date and having it 'corrected' again, and thus 60% shaved off the apparent mileage, and thus be implicable in a fraud charge or something.

Cue hackles raised on literally dozens of Coventry-based readers...

Well, potentially, but surely they could store all mileage corrections on the main computer that main dealers use to look up service records from any main dealer around the country, couldn't they?

Yes, they could, if they had a teaspoon of active braincells between them. My experience of Pug dealers doesn't suggest that this is the case. I think the solution as practised is simply to upload an updated version of the software, which is pretty much thier solution to most problems. Getting the monke..mechanics to manage the more complex task of reprogramming the odomoeter might require providing additional training, and hence expense.

Ah, I had a feeling this might be the case.

There's a difference?

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "AstraVanMan" saying something like:

There's one obvious legitimate reason; speedo from breakers is showing much higher mileage than car has done.

Fwiw, if the OP had a clue he'd find out easily enough how to do it or get it done.

Even then what you are supposed to do is keep the mileage and make a note of the old speedo's mileage and the new one.

You just are. It's the convention.

Nothing wrong in those circumstances with changing the reading to the cars's true mileage. Convention be buggered.

The convention (and common sense) of this level of transparency was perhaps more useful when you easily see if someone had tampered with the old style odometre, knocking the digit barrels out of line. It would look distinctly dodgy unless you could show the old knackered speedo.

Still, no guarantee of honesty there either is there? Especially if the "old" speedo was from another car...
