Stuck TVR Odometer Fix . . .
Discussion
Hi
I read with interest about how TVR odometers seem to stick on the '9999s. My interest grew as mine approached and subsequently remained at 29999 for over 100 miles now!
Yesterday I managed to fix it without expense, spanners or brutality. The answer . . .
Mad reversing!
Drove round an empty car park in reverse for 2 minutes and the digits just clicked over. It works perfectly now!
Hope this helps!

Was anyone watching, was there a CCTV camera, will we see you on one of those public video clip TV programes.
I do not have that sort of Problem with mine as it is the LCD type, which oddy stopped working a few weeks back, the fix according to Mole Valley was to go to the nearest watch shop, buy a watch battery for 2.99 and replace the old dead batery, which alas did cost me £50 in labour for them to get the dash apart to do the job. So I now have a very low millage car, in fact it reset itself to 0 miles, I now have to catch up to the 22k miles that where on it when I bought it.

I had this recently with my 98 Chimp. got to 19999 and noticed that both stopped turning, drove another 2 miles home, no action. Next day alarm system went loopy (coincidence!). I then left the car for a few days whilst disconnected various bits- took it for a drive and odometers happily clocked 20K . . .
thought I may have to be doing over 130mph to clock these boys! Can't tell why it happened!
