Julian H Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 HiThe mileage display on my speedo is not working correctly, with incorrect / incomplete / missing numbers. Is it possible to have the unit repaired rather that replaced, assuming the correct milage is somewhere in the electronics inside and it is only the display requiring replacement?Its this one.Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K7 VCT Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Caerbont in Wales? Caerbont, Abercraf, Ystradgynlais, Swansea SA9 1SH Think they made it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian H Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 HiThanks K7, I now have a few recommendations to follow up. It has also have been suggested that I try running the speedo through the programming mode which I have done. All the numbers are displayed perfectly, then it reverts to the fractured mileage display :-(Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Does the trip reading display correctly, or is that also corrupted?JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian H Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 HiThe trip reading is fine which makes me suspicious that this cannt be repaired.My next post may be, what new speedos are a direct replacement for this one! Lets see.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAndrewE Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 If not already suggested also try Speedy Cables. They are also in Abercraf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Re #6:That's truly bizarre! All I can think of is that the rubber button is causing a poor contact when in the "mileage" position. What happens if you press the button repeatedly, toggling between mileage and trip?It would be interesting to see what Caerbont, Speedy Cables, or John Ostick have to say.(ETA: JDO's website says he doesn't repair electronic units.)Re a new speedo, this could be the one (71255SM). What year/model is your car? JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian H Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 HiNo matter what I do, it makes no difference, still faulty. BTW, the mileage is not 77,967 or 22,967, it’s probably around 35kBizzare!I don’t think I feel inclined to buy another one of the speedos, my car has had 2 already. I think next time I’d like to buy something better quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 The first two "digits" in photo 1 look more like slash symbols. Unless they have a special meaning, your display is truly misbehaving.I understand your reluctance to replace like-for-like, but it would probably be worthwhile sending those photos to Caerbont for their comments. Who knows, they may be so perplexed that they offer to examine and fix FOC as a goodwill gesture!JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
