odometer stuck on .9

[jwigglesworth]

Greetings all fellow masochists,
once more I seek the advice of the learned form members (or the not so learned if they feel left out): the odometer has been stuck for a short time now on xxxxx.9 miles. I have tired all the ususal of tapping, the glass, smacking the dash, driving over bumps,etc but to no avail
Anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks

Mine sticks every 10,000 miles......and just when I am getting used to it, unsticks again. If you have a limited mileage policy, drive it more while you can!!!

Had the same problem, and drove fast over painted rumble line on motorway plus as heavy a tap as I was prepared to give on the dial glass (it was pretty heavy). Worked therafter...

Isn't it likely to be an MOT failure?

Don't think they test that, just note it down. Anyone else? As you have a limited slip diff, they might do the brake testing on the road rather than the rollers, so could notice it, I suppose.

Yes, this subject has been on another thread. For the first 3 month's of ownership mine didn't work, then after driving down a bumpy road it freed itself!

No definitely not a fail. Mine freed itself after a spirited drive across Belgium on the 2012 eurotour. Mixed feelings when that happened.
