karnevil Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Turned my mind to sorting the Odometer out today. It seems the cables are no longer available unless used. I was expecting the drive prongs to be broken or the "T" piece damaged or worst case the actual tumblers gone west. However once the clocks were stripped out it became apparent that the cable just wasn't holding in anymore,probably due to the moulded outer flange being broke. I was going to just glue it in place but then I gave it some more thought and tried a circlip,as shown in the pics. It seems to work well so decided to post here and share my fix.

TR8IAN Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 That's a really great idea - even when you could get new cables they only fitted where they touched! Cheers Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jemgee Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 My trip counter cable is jammed. Is this fixable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karnevil Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Does the trip meter count the miles but just won't reset? If yes then that's how mine felt. This could well fix it for you.For an sae i can post you a circlip.If you don't have or cannot borrow circlip pliers post the cable and housing I will fit and post back.or if close pay me a visit or vice versa.

jemgee Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Correct - it counts the miles but I cannot adjust it. The circlip would be great thanks. I will PM you my address - thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
REPLIC8 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Mine counts the miles when feels like it. Then it stops for a while & then starts again. The speedo still works though. Could this be the same problem? Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
