Hello,

My odometer has never worked since my ownership of my 1980 CT van.. :roll:

But to be in conformity with the new VAST Euro regulations (concerning camper van conversions) it must do so...

Can any one help, :?: there was an article a long while ago IIRC..

Or I could just manually advance it for the MOT.. :twisted:

Cordialement,

:ok

IIRC the main fix was to superglue the gearwheel to the shaft. It may have been on the Brickyard.Found this one http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/broke ... 57876.html
My suggestion was to file/grind a small flat on the shaft and make a corresponding flat in the gear and then glue a sliver of shimming brass in to make a key. More dismantling to achieve this though.
