Re: turning back the clocks
Yep you have to carefully dismantle the clocks & adjust each numbered wheel, then re-assemble or get an old speedo drive cable connect it to the clocks & your cordless drill then run it backwards till you get the mileage reading what you want.

Re: CLUTCH PEDAL sitting high.
I refitted it & it works OK I can change gear & everything but the pedal sit twice as high as it used to making it difficult to use.

CLUTCH PEDAL sitting high.
I removed the pedal to change the broken clutch cable on my 1.8 cav, now the pedal sits really high like twice the height it used to. It still works OK just really awkward to change gear. Can't work out how to get the tension back in the spring

Re: C18NZ
If you want more performance you might be better off with the 1.8SE multi point injection system, I think there's a thread about it on here somewhere.

Re: Feels like I`m braking with blocks of wood
It may be worth changing the brake fluid & flushing the system out, because moisture in it can cause this problem. If you don't know how old the fluid is
