Hi,
Any tips or tricks on how to fix my odometer. Ive attached two images of how it looks at present. I have an impending MOT/NCT test and this will cause me to fail. Please help.
Thanks,

David

It could just be a bad connection on one of the wiring plugs on the back circuit board.

Remove the speedo cluster and remove and replace the connectors.

Below is what the NCT Manual says. Rang them and the lady checked with the senior tester who said they will record 00000 but wont fail me.
Took her name in full as I'm not so confident. :tank:

Going to try and remove and reconnect in case that works as suggested by another responder.

The NCT tester must record the odometer reading at the time
of the test where an odometer is fitted. When the test report
or pass statement is being presented to the owner or the
presenter of the vehicle, the NCT tester shall point out the
odometer reading. The owner or the presenter of the vehicle
must verify that the odometer reading is correct, and if not
shall immediately advise the NCT Tester as there will be no
opportunity to change the reading at a later stage.

My sons Peugeot 306 has a similar looking odometer. The car passed its MOT OK.

If you want to make sure the mileage recorded is correct perhaps you could get the MOT station to connect, or connect yourself, an ECU reader?

On phase 1 at least the Speedo and odometer are driven by a sensor on the gearbox. The ECU gets its info from the ABS system. I've checked the mileage on the ECU a couple of times and it has always recorded more miles than the odometer. Of course it could be a fault with the code in MES.

Spider Odometer

I know this is an old thread.... but my odometer LCD on my 2004 JTS 2.0 Spider has finally died after steadily losing pixels over a few years.
Rich_wookey - you mentioned you might be able to supply a replacement lcd - is that a possibililty please?

TIA Mark

Yes I have a spare. I’ve tried to send private message to you, but it says you’ve chosen not to receive PMs

Send me your address and I’ll send you the LCD

NB it’s from a Phase 1, but I think they are all the same, yours probably has a red filter that fits in front of the LCD

Rich ?

There is a small red/green filter but the LCDs are actually different.

It may still work? But it will be green.
