    Posted: 21 Dec 2016 at 1:03pm
 Earlier in the year I had the misfortune to damage the sump on my 325  by hitting a large kerb (don't ask but I was on my way to Le Mans at the time). Anyway fast forward 6 months and I've had the car repaired but now the Odometer and Mileometer have stopped working. I've had a look on the internet and it seems to be a common problem with the little cogs behind the speedo gauge but does any know where I can get some new ones? As the ones which keep cropping up on Ebay are made in Turkey and relate to car's the KPH speedos? Thanks

Thanks for the offer Neil, I'll let you know if I need anything once I get the clocks out. Just got to find the time to do that.

I finally got around to stripping down my cluster and found a small piece of plastic stuck in one of the cogs, removed that and the odometer is working again. But whilst I had it out I've noticed I'm missing 2 bulbs, one for the brake pad warning light and one for the temperature gauge, are the easy to source? Also my service lights have stopped working (well the inspection light remains illuminated all of the time) so how easy is it to obtain and change the SI batteries as they seems to be referred to? Mine look to be the more stubby type of batteries not the AA type.
