andy666 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I was driving to work last week and noticed that my Odo clock was on 99999 so I kept watching it to watch it turn the big 100,000 miles and then 1 mile later it it decides to jump to 200,000 miles. Is there anyway to find why this happend and to correct it? I was planning on selling the old girl soon but this has just made it alot harder! I had an mot done 2 months ago with correct milage and I did take photos of it changing from 99999 to 200,000 so I have sort of got proof that the milage is lower that it reads. It's an n/a if it helps. Any help would be very appreciated thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTRickeh Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Unlucky. Mine got stuck on 99999, I had to take the odo out and give it a nudge over the 100k, too honest for my own good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 It's a 96 so it's 50/50 facelift. May I ask why mr Homer?? The facelift cars have a mechanical odo in the speedo, it's easier to 'clock' it back to the correct mileage than the electronic ones on the pre-facelift.

Oh yes, I forgot that the old ones had digital odo's. Sounds like it's defo facelift then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 your number "1" would have been removed in Japan so that the first time it' hits 100,000 it'll simply go back to 00000 then the second time it'll hit 200,000, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 if it was a facelift you could just just paint the 2 black and carry on oblivious Or on a pre facelift take the odo unit apart and break the contacts for the display of the last number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
