hey all, my odometer has been getting a bit sticky over the part couple of weeks, and completely stopped working lastnight. Any ideas on how to fix this? I managed to fix the one on my brother's BMW, but it took 7 hours!! I guess its what you get with a german car. Anyway, don't wanna spend that much time diagnosing the problem on the vn.

| You'll need to pull the cluster out, then apart. It's not that hard to do, certainly won't take 7 hours. I've had mine out a few times, I've got it down to a 30 minute job now. |

| Probably be better off just getting a new cluster from a wreckers, you should be able to pick up a L1 or L2 cluster for about $30 or so. |
