#1: mileage not working Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 1:13 pm ---- Ive played about with my fuel gauge and now thats working, but the mileage counter isnt
The ribbon at the back has a crease in it but doesnt look broken.
any ideas?

IIRC they're soldered onto the board, but aslong as your half decent with a solder iron it's a simple enough job
Failing that, if you cant fix it get a new one and I'll have to come to a meet in Peterborough some time and solder it for you lols

Thats exactly what i thought as it goes down on the doccumentation
#7: Re: mileage not working Author: davieboy86, Location: Kent,Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 12:42 pm ---- My ribbon broke, I changed the dials over and the guy said I needed to have a milage to record so I had to put in salvaged clocks so my MOT certificate says 76 thou instead of 43. I need to find some one who could help my repair it, I can find new clocks at the scrappy all day long, just no idea how to repair it
#8: Re: mileage not working Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 12:43 pm ---- does it matter if the mileage is lower than the last recorded mileage? If not, then i can just get a crappy set to put in for the MOT, as i dont fancy re-glueing my plasma dials.
#9: Re: mileage not working Author: Liam-HuTcH, Location: PeterboroughPosted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 12:45 pm ---- well mine says 30k on the mot certificates, when old ones say 80k so wouldnt of thought so

Yes, its recorded on the mot certificate but it's of no concern to the mot tester, or the authorities if its the exact same mileage recorded at every mot!
