Odometer not working

[oldfart]

Odometer has stuck, just as changing to 102,000 miles. Trip reset to zero but didn't help and not working either. Is there an easy way to remove the clear plastic cover over the fascia dials, so that I can give the odometer wheels a nudge to see if this will clear anything that is stopping them from turning? Or are there any other solutions to the problem?
Thanks

take the 4 screws on facia bit over sterring wheel out,remove this

and then you should be able to get it out with a tug

4 screws hold the facia then the unit is held by 4 other screws, remove the wires from the back, the "screen" is held by lugs that can be pressed and released

the speedo is then held by 4 screws

If that dosen't work and u need to change the speedo head then u can fit a 626 speedo head straight in! It will read in mph and record in miles also .Only thing is if u have speedo chip fitted u'll have disconnect it(easy enough).if u go doon that road u can pick them up on Ebay now & again for aboot £20 or so best of luck.


cheers stevie

Excellent. Thanks Guys for your help. Job done and fixed. Removed the facia to get access to the lugs on the plastic cover. Removed the plastic cover (and gave it a good clean!!) and nudged the odometer wheels with a matchstick, so as not to damage the numbers. Just had a quick test drive and odometer now working again.
Thanks again.
