You can get a Federally approved form from DMV to record actual mileage and keep with vehicle and just add that mileage the accumulated mileage on the new speedometer

Will a Holden VP odometer fit a Holden VS?
Yes and no, the actual odometer and speedo assembly will fit but the the whole VP cluster will not, although it will bolt in the wiring is different and you will fry the dash or under dash wiring.
How do you change the odometer reading if you change the instrument cluster?
It is against the law for you to change the odometer reading. Ask the State Police (Highway Patrol) in your area what the procedure is. Be careful, there's something like a $10,000 fine for changing one. ----It is only illegal if the car is less than 10 years old and only if it is done with the intent of misleading someone to the actual mileage of the car. If you are changing the mileage on a replacement instrument panel to accurately show the actual mileage, it is perfectly legal. As to how to do it? There are some videos on you tube that show how.
What is an actual odometer reading?
It is the mileage that is actually on the car. If the odometer is replaced, the correct reading is written down. Add that to the reading of the replacment odometer and you have the actual mileage on the car.
How do you remove the panel to get into the speedometer for Honda 1995 dx?
Remove the instrument bezel first. Pop out the emergency flasher controller and there is one screw behind there. There are two screws above the steering wheel as well. Then gently remove the bezel. The instrument cluster is next with four screws. After you remove those four screws, pull out the instrument cluster and unhook the three electrical connections. If you are removing the actual speedometer you need to remove the plastic case from the instruments. Pull off the trip odometer rubber piece and then there are six tabs that hold the unit in place. Simply pull it out while depressing the tabs. The speedometer then can be removed by three screws on the back of the cluster.

How to change the speedometer on a 1999 subaru legacy outback?
Remove the four screws that hold the cluster face on, carefully disconnect all the various connectors from the back of the cluster. http://www.mrwhizard.com/ is a place that will repair that cluster for 189.00 with a two year warranty. The speedo head is generally the culprit from what I've read. I am going to send mine to them for repair. Replacing the speedo head with a used one may give you problems, a new one needs to have the miles reset, or some staement from DMV to ensure all are aware that the odometer is not actual miles.
How do i lower a digital odometer?
Mostly all the vehicles that I have worked on with a digital odometer cannot be lowered. Their is an actual manual odometer that reads to the engine computer that sends digital readout to the odometer, that cannot be reset or changed if you were to try to it would disable the vehicle and would need to be taken to the manufacturer garage for service to reset computer but would still give old odometer reading. If the computer were to come out of another car the odometer still wouldn't change. Government is very very strict with odometers these days. I disagree with above that digital odometers "can't" be tampered with, indeed they can provided the right hardware/software is available, many digital odometers can be manipulated through a connection made on the cars diagnostic plug or through connections made to the instrument panel cluster. A search of the internet will show up many companies that sell hardware/software to do digital odometers

How do you repair the odometer on a 1988 Chrysler LeBaron that is not digital?
Sorry, you can't do anything other than replace the speedometer itself. The speedo is driven by a magnet system which also gear drives the odometer which is tamper proof. Check with a dealer in your area and depending on state law, you may be able to get a used speedo unit from a recycling yard and the dealer will place a sticker on the car verifying actual mileage. ^^ That is incorrect, it is not tamperproof. The way to fix this is to replace the odometer gear itself. The gear costs $28. You need to remove the speedo from the instrument cluster and tear the back of the odometer apart to replace the broken gear. The following weblink explains it in better detail than I could. I did mine in about an hour, but your mileage may vary. http://www.backesfamily.com/TCProjects/Odometer%20Repair/odometer.html

How do you remove the instrument cluster in a 1999 Toyota Camry?
The instrument cluster can easly be removed to change a burnt out bulb for example. Remove the 2 top Phillips screws of the instr cover with a stubby screw driver (and tilt the steering wheel down out of the way). Pry the plastic instr cluster cover panel out from the actual instr cluster using hooked or L shaped PIC tools (2 of them may be necessary) Be careful not to break the cover. Once you have pryed one of the snaps loose the other push in snap may snap loose easlily. Once the cover is removed it is easy to remove the 4 Phillips screws holding the cluster in. Putting the cluster and cluster cover back in place is a snap so to speak.
