odometer and Mileometer not working

[Farbbm]

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

It's only a common problem in hotter climates than the UK, and although the last time I was in Bedfordshire the temperature was over thirty degrees, I'm sure this is an exception, rather than normal.
I've never seen a case of failed gears in the UK, although I expect there has been the odd case, so I advise that you check before ordering new gears to replace what might quite likely be perfect existing ones.
The US still measures distance in miles, and the problem is common in places like California, so if you do need them, look on US ebay.

Thanks for your reply Brian. The only reason why I can think they've stopped working is because of the severe impact of me hitting the kerb and cracking the sump which knocked something out of alignment but as you suggest I'll have a look first to see if I do indeed need new gears.
