Hi peeps
My odometer seems to have stopped working all of a sudden. The only part working is the speedometer but revs and fuEl temp is not working. Do I need to change the who unit or i's there a simple fix?

If the speedo is working, the only reason the odometers are not working is likely to be dry joints on the stepper motor or failed plastic gears. Failed gears are unheard of in the UK, but I see your post was at 2.10 AM GMT. Are you, by any chance, situated somewhere warmer than the UK?
Tacho. and temperature gauge can be both down to failed SI board batteries, but fuel gauge failure isn't connected with that in any way. Most fuel gauge faults are external to the cluster.
There are several fuses associated with the instrument cluster, but none exclusively so. Is anything else electrical not working?

i had this not long ago. there are a couple of very thin copper coils on the back of the clock.
the copper had broken on one of them had to very awkwardly solder tiny piece of speaker wire back in and they are fine again now!
