1) Install in vehicle, adjust speedometer as appropriate. 2) Drive 86000 miles.
Alternatively, I'll bet you could get a conveniently-sized drill bit, set it up in a bench vise, and spin where the cable goes, if it's non-electric. Maybe insert a sacrificial plastic ring (pencil eraser?) to make sure you don't mar the plug. I've never tried it and probably never will, but that's my idea for the day. :) Not having dismantled a Benz speedometer, might it be possible to just replace the odometer with the old one? -Tim -----Original Message----- From: andrew strasfogel <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 30, 2009 5:13 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: [MBZ] Another weird W123 speedo question I may obtain a used speedo to use in my 1983 300TD with the jittery speedometer. How would I ADVANCE the miles on the insturment to bring the odometer (currently reading 234,000 miles) up to 320,000? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
