Success!

The Mileage Correction bloke has fixed it! He plugged in his gizmo to a socket under the dash but that failed to solve the problem, so he took the instrument pack away and dismantled it and reprogrammed achip directly apparently and all is returned to normal! £120.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

They haven't altered it, they've restored it as it's corrupted.

To change the mileage on a 75 you need to alter the LSM as it's stored in there as well.

The LSM is in 2 parts, the switch part which is dumb and a PCB which is coded to the car and contains mileage information.
