Hello


When I bought my car (AH BJ7) my odometer worked fine without partial kilometer indication.
I desmonted the device and I changed one pinion.
Today the partial kilometer indication is OK but... the speed indication is wrong.
The needle move a very litle...
However the principle is simple (Magnet in the metal plate...)
Could you help me to resolve this issue


Many thanks in advance

You had to pull the indicator needle off to get the guts out of the speedometer; my first guess is you pushed the needle on too far and it's dragging against the face of the unit.

I had this happen to me in the distant past; right now, I don't remember what caused/fixed it, but I'll see if I can dredge up the memory.
