The odometer and tripmeter have both stopped working except for when the Car has been parked in the Sun.
Then distance is recorded, the actual sppedo is fine, a little concerned as according to the history this is Speedo Head No3 in 120k.
Any one else suffering with a temperemental Speedo?
How easy is it to remove the Instrument Panel?

You will need a pair of special tools from MB (see pics) but you can make yourself a pair with some skill and a cloth hanger (made of wire).

Cheers.

463 Speedo Fault

I think a new speedo head is about £26O!
However I have sent my spare speedo head to be overhauled by Speedo Graph Richfield in Nottingham and they are quoting £126 incl to repair , subject to parts being available,and are quoting a six week repair time.
