VDO Speedo

[Ray The Brake]

I have a VDO speedo with a digital read out for the mileage read out

The reading disappears intermittently advice on the unit would be very welcome

Put it in a bag of dry rice and then in the airing cupboard for a week or so

What Gary said.

Its usually just down to moisture getting in. Try the drying out trick, it often works, though it's sometimes only temporary and eventually comes back, just keep repeating...

If it doesn't work, then IIRC, ETB instruments used to do repair work on them, you could try them and see what they say.

Thanks for the heads up guys, I bought Gordon (Tightscot)s car and it lived in a trailer close to his home.

The problem seems intermittent so at this stage I will see if the issue gets worse, as I keep it in my garage I have been doing cosmetic upgrades to personalize 

the car over the last few months

Cheers

These speedos do tend to get wet, happens to many of us, try drying it out and see how it goes. If the odometer starts to show random pixels then it will fail completely in which case a new speedo is required.  Should you need help or advice, the approved importers are ETB instruments at Southend-On-Sea and if you buy one from them, they load the odometer with your current mileage.  I bought a used Speedo and had to inform DVLA of the mileage discrepancy.
