Unhappy Odometer+tripometer STOPPED.(q90 B2 85)

Been playing up for awhile,intermittent.Now they,don't work.
Also on rare occasions,the speedo stops for a brief moment.

I've heard somewhere(?),the nylon cog wears??Is it,the cog??
Can you still get hold of,the above cog?(New)Or would I have to butcher,an old dash?

Advice needed,please.

I'll try that,it'll only have delivery mileage on it.



Want to keep the original mileage on it,because they are low.
Would changing the cogs,mess up the tumblers?Never had one apart,before?

Default Don't know,mate?

I've got my blue q90,to butcher.Won't be using the clocks.(Thanks,for the offer.)

Never taken the clocks apart,so don't know how they work?Or what the fix(if can fix?),entails?

easiest thing to do is getting the speedo from your other car, hook the cable up and connect a drilling machine to the other side of the cable to get it to the right mileage.
Might take a while though, but you won't break the small cogs inside
