depends on your car.

Clio 16V then nothing.

19 16V, twist and hold the reset knob, press and hold the button on the stalk then turn on the ignition.

On the 19's/21's etc all it will do is scroll through everythign to show the screen works.

fiddly more than anything.

if you have a clio then its about 5 minutes (whole dash top comes off with 3 screws)! 19's an arse though.

Doin a 19 is like tieing shoelaces thru a letterbox

Top tip of the day: remove the airduct pipe and free the speedo cable from underneath

left hand on the reset button, right thumb on the stalk then flick the key over with fingers.

With the air pipe out the way access is better to both the clutch and speedo cable.
