Resetting odometer.

Postby Gold n Brown » 30 Nov 2011 07:47

Ok, I am this thick, how do I reset the trip meter on my TR7? Must be having a blonde moment but cant find any way of doing this.[:I] To put things in perspective, I only found out after trying to fix the dash lights that there is a dimmer switch so wooden spoon for me hahahahahha!

Right under the dash theres a little knob between the clock adjustment and choke.

And if the knob is not there, it has almost certainly just slipped out of the bracket (which is slotted) and is hanging under your dash.

Found the reset button as per pic (but on rh side lol) and it doesnt appear to be working, also the clock isnt either, also the sidelights dont appear to come on until the headlights are up, also..........[:D][:D] the joys of owning a 34yr old Brit!!!!!!! Love it.

There is a modification you can make to the clock to make it reliable. Do a search for the link.
