Odometer

[Saints]

My odometer has stopped working again this is 12 months after having it fixed tried all the quick fixes (hitting the top of the dash, pressing the trip re-set when reversing and tapping the glass) is there a way of stripping this down and doing it myself I seem to remember a link that someone posted on how to do this but I can't seem to find it.

Thanks

Has it stopped on a 10,000 turn over?
Has the speedo stopped too?

No its just stopped and the speedo is still working.

The motor that drives the odometer is slipping on the gear driveshaft. Mine did this, i opened it up from the back and glued the shaft to the motor. Why that couldn't have been done on manufacture i dont know!

Thanks for the replys how does the back come off the speedo I have a spare that I'll have a look at first before I take out the one in the my car.

Not easily! Think i cut mine open carefully. A special piece of equipment is needed to open them properly from the front...

You need to find someone with one for sale perhaps?

Mine are on their way to Germany!

I have a spare one but it's a bit tatty but I was told it works, I'd still need to get inside to change the mileage as it would bug me.

Perhaps I need to break out the hammer.

Thanks for the replies

If you havnt sorted it yet try Mark Compton at m-fix, fixed mine this Summer, it was the little motor on the back of the speedo had finally given up after years of hitting the dash etc. He managed to find a supplier in Holland.
