#1: Odometer LCD display Author: 206boyracer, Location: Sunny CornwallPosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 6:10 am ---- Hi all. My odometer display is not working 100% It displays only part of each number. I have checked the bulb etc no problems there. But I have heard that if the ribbons become creased sometimes it will display wrong.
So I have just taken a screen out of a 206 from a scrapyard. The ribbon is glued to the circuit board it's almost like a Sellotape glue. It unpeeled really easy. My question is... Is the problem with mine likely to be that the glue has half unstuck? I haven't had mine off yet to have a look but how would I go about re attaching it? I was hoping it would be soldered on or something but obviously not.
Anybody done any repairs like this? I would rather repair what I have instead of buying another set of clocks and getting the mileage reset. Thanks.

Never done one myself so you will either have to have a search on the forum OR wait for someone thats had this same issue.

#6: Re: Odometer LCD display Author: MPorter13, Location: North EastPosted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 7:04 am ---- could you put a link up on for the thread about changing a part in the cluster to keep the same mileage as before?
#7: Re: Odometer LCD display Author: MrMorris, Location: Over that hill.Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2012 7:41 am ---- hmm, im VERy insterested too in this changing a part over from your current cluster to a new one, to keep the milage the same. as my fuel gauge is knackered. sometimes its full, sometimes its empty. does my head in not knowing.

Took the board off the back and my ribbon had started unsticking so wedged a bit of card behind it to keep the contact. May not be everlasting but hopefully will be good for a while.

I snapped the ribbon while repairing the Speedo/tacho. you can repair it while applying pressure on the ribbon when its well aligned. my problem was trying to keep the pressure! concerning faint readings, it has to do with the bulb.
