Thanks for the link! They also appear to have gears for the wiper assembly as well.

I've not driven my car yet so fingers crossed that it doesnt tick anymore. I noticed that it had great difficulty in resetting, not all the wheels would easily reset to 0. I disassembled my spare 190E 2.3 odometer just to observe its inner working, it seems the reset much easier.

It appear that the reset lever performs two tasks.

1) remove the sprockets from the bottom of the digits, unlocking them
2) 'fingers' come down in the back and press into each digit forcing it back to 0. There appears to be a 'D' shape on the side of each digit wheel that forced it back to 0.
