stuck odometer

[Dima r33]

Hey guys,

My non-digital trip/odometer seems to be getting stuck more and more often. It will just get stuck and stop clicking over until I reset it(trip) and even then it might not click over for about 100kms. And then suddently it just starts ticking over again.

What is causing this?

How can this be fixed?

How much would I be looking at?

I have heard that the only thing to do is replace the dash and instruments with another one from a wreckers. Is this true or is there a much easier (and less expensive) solution?

Thanks heaps.

Hi, have the same problem! any idea?

I really don't think you need to replace the dash and instruments! For me, my car reverses. Then it start clicking again if it was stuck before. i am on 86k now! I suspect it's well over 100k geniunely.

its a little cog inside that turns the odometre it would be missing a tooth or something they just get fragile after awhile some times they even break there are not many places that fix them. there is 3 in qld not sure how many in nsw looking about 50 to 100 bucks to fix only half hour job. easy money.

common problem usually in odo's that have been wound back ..... like mine

apparently you have to remove the instrument cluster and take it to someone that repairs that kinda thing...... mines been stuck since March and i still havent got around to doing it!
