I've now got the dreaded stuck trip counter syndrome.

A couple of times before it's got stuck when I pressed the reset button, but I've eventually been able to reset it.

This time it's turned back some way then got stuck tight. I've read some advice on BXC in the thread archive but no amount of pressing the button, flicking it, or letting it ping out will sort it. The thing is clicking on the move, accompanied by twitches of the speedo needle. It's stuck on 130.9 and a half... and the 0 has slipped backwards (down) so it's jammed.

I've been meaning to remove the binnacle to sort out a couple of dead bulbs... but does anyone have any other tips? Reversing while pressing the switch etc.?

I hope mine - being '91 - has the wingnuts holding the binnacle on?

Does anyone have a spare speedo (140 MPH petrol) I could have?

Cheers,

Mark.

Mine did a similar thing a few years back and it's just started again.
Mine wasnt in fact stuck but the pin had become disengaged at the numbers end. I refitted it and wrapped some tape round the guide and it was ok .....until......

Most likely to be the cm tongue either broken or bent, or jammed in the rocker.
They can be stripped easily and usually it's just a case of popping things backinto their plastic retainers, however, if it's entirely wankered I do have a speedo head you're welcome to.

My trip jammed up a few months back, I was vaugely thinking about fixing it but in reality it was never going to happen. Then it started making an irritating ticking noise last week, I was going to post on here and ask what to do. Then the ticking stopped and the trip started working again

I've still got a spare speedo that Vanny gave me at Gaydon if you do need one, its in the loft at home but I can check later if needs be.
