Niice... I just repaired my odometer... pot-metal gear was slipping on the shaft... I didn't even need to remove the shaft entirely, there was enough exposed to rough up the silver gear's contact point (with a drill) once I removed the brass bushing and slid the shaft to flush with the housing. I already had the odo out, and the whole job took me maybe 10 minutes. Woot. Back to the 'count up'... The 240D I decided to keep (sold my 300D Greaser, thanks very much) shows 267K miles and is still going 'strong'.

Thanks for the tips on the odo-repair. Cheers!

Ash
