TVR self repairing odometer

[Niiige]

I'm delighted to report that my odometer has repaired itself !

It stopped working after a long & wet trip back from Scotland. It stopped on number 9.

Apparently they all do that

Thank you to everyone who told me that this was a common problem. I'd tried driving over cats eyes and tapping furiously on the speedo - but to no avail.

Joe very kindly sent me a long and detail guide to dash removal. That caused me several sleepless nights I can tell you !

Anyway, a combination of warmer weather, the heater on full blast for an hour and a half on the way to Burghley, strategic tapping, potholes and swearing and we are back in the land of the living !

I cannot describe just how happy and relieved I am. But to give you an idea - about as happy & relieved as I was on my first Euro Tour when I managed to avoid Glenn's sink plunger initiation ceremony !!

Have no fears Niiige, you need to rack up quite a few miles yet before you're ready to enjoy the Initiation into the Gentlemen's Touring Section.
Just keep focusing on that odometer clicking over, bringing you ever nearer....

Nige - its probably a combination of all of the above in fairness. I beat mine quite brutally whilst driving over stippled white lines (the ones that keep you awake), before it clicked on - probably right on the edge of busting the dial cover.

So what you're saying is that you got out of removing the dash?

Luck sd. Don't worry, your time will come

Thats showing your evil side captain.

That's his cuddly side, Pete!

It’s one of the mysteries of TVR’s - how they magically repair themselves.

Pete - I’ve knock speedo knuckle - a lump from all the tapping ! My passenger on Sunday thought I’d gone doolally.

Joe, I hope to avoid the trial of a dash out job for as long as possible. It’s not that I’m scared exactly ....... !
