As you might have guessed, I liked the 'Very possibly' answer to the first case! Do you have any more information on that? As it seems, I cannot avoid having the odometer changed, but this is reprogrammable as you said.

I am a software engineer and have been thinking for a while now to buy one of the OBDII programming thingies. If this is a way to reprogram the odometer, I should probably speed things up!

I am actually going to order a UK RHD one to experiment with swapping the core board. It is a simple process, as you remove the back cover and simply unplug and replug the cores. It will either work or not.

An OBDII device won't help with the cluster. You need an EPROM programmer and surface mount soldering equipment. The odometer data is encrypted, but there is third party software that can be purchased to break the encryption. I reverse engineered it myself.
