Renault Scenic mileage on dash board

Car: Renault Scenic
Variant: 1.5 diesel
Model Year: 2006
Just recently had new electronic dash fitted due to known problem with this car make / model. Concern is the car had 54k on the clock. After new dash fitted it started from zero again. Garage tells me they can't put in original miles. Renault customer services also say same, however they have a record of original miles. Has anyone managed to get round this ? Just concerned this will give me aggravation when time comes to move the car on.

Do they mean they wont do it rather than it cant be done ? Plenty of people advertise mileage correction in local free motor magazines , simple job with right equipment .

Thanks for reply, Both garage and customer service say it can't be done.
If it can be done then is it legal ? I would rather have correct mileage on the car.

i had the blackout problem on my scenic, at the time renault wanted me to pay all cost for replacement which was over £600, i looked aroud the web and found an engineer that rectified the fault and i can only say he was absolutely brilliant quoted me £150 and 2 years warranty, he was in ireland and i was in scotland, he told me how to remove the display took me less than five minutes and i posted it to him, i was supposed to get it back within a week but he had a problem with his computer and had to order parts for that, anyway when he returned my dash after a fortnight including i think about £20-£30 refund as an apology for the delay due to his computer he then talked me through the re-installation over the phone, i have not had any problems since and i still have his number if anyone requires it, he was first class
