My Chimaera odometer stuck on 39999 over the weekend.

After reading all the previous posts on the subjet, I followed the given advice -

a) Keep pressing the trip reset
b) Reverse / forward / reverse / forward
c) Hard acceleration

Yep - you guessed it (c) fixed it. Apologies to the guy in the Impreza Turbo – I wasn’t really trying to make you feel small, just trying to work the odometer loose. :biglaugh:

Thanks to PistonHeads!

Would you believe ours has just started working again too! I think its something to do with the variation in temperature. Or maybe the wind or maybe...

Mine's been stuck on 39,999 for a 'while'. I've tried a few things - two different mechanics have tried to 'loosen' it via the extreme violence methodology, but nothing doing.

I'll try the reverse thing, other than that, it'll have to be c).

'Sorry officer, I was fixing my odometer...'

Be warned - option (c) caused another problem. The hazard warning light button flew off at hyper speed. As this is the most important piece of kit in a TVR, I am now a little worried!!!
