Hello! Better late then never eh!

 

I've not fiddled enough with the Mk1 clocks to give you a deffinate answer but the early ones did indeed have miles to emply and also a digital read out of the oil temperature...

 

I've not got an early eeprom to give you but since the clocks were made by VDO then it probably can be enabled with a simple hex change - the clocks are normally fully equiped and the MFD section basically looks at aa small hex number (that converts to binary) to tell it what it can or cant display - the 1's and 0's are simply used as dip switches for whats enabled and whats not.
