Speedo problems

[Robbow]

Anybody know the quick fix to this?

Driving my 111R Sports Racer yesterday. Started her up and the following happened:

Mileage had jumped from 950 miles to 280541
Temperature read 195F

and the RPM & MPH dials span anticlockwise to 0 !

Turned the ignition off and these dials span back clockwise to the bottom and shook for a few seconds with a clicking noise coming from behind the dash!

Got the car in on Tuesday for it's 1000 After Service, but anyone know a quick fix to this. No misfires or engine warning lights....yet

I knew all was going too well after having all heaps of little problems with by brand new S1 6 years ago. Still loved the car though!
Cheers

don't know how to fix it but take a photo - that's got to be the highest mileage ever recorded on an Elise.

Lotus should sort it for you at the service.

This happened to the owner of my last elise.
He ended up replacing the dash unit.
Seems to be a few problems with these reported on here recently

There's a reset routine, I'll see if I can find it on SELOC

Worth a shot at reseting it.

Tried the reset suggestion, but still no joy. Looks like I will have to watch the footy instead of driving around the Peak District, and leave it up to the guys at Chistopher Neil on Tuesday. I will post the action required next week, just in case it happens to anybody elses 111R.

Dash Unit was replaced yesterday FOC, One of those things..... 1000 miles Service done as well so looking forward to a weekend of driving.

Slightly OT, but does anyone know of a good source of new/second hand dash units?
I'd like to get a spare to use whilst I attempt to fix mine.
Or is it a case of buy a new one from parts?

cheers
