Hi All,

Just got back from a 300 mi round-trip to the college my son will be attending next year. He reset the 240's odometer after refilling the tank, and now it no longer works. I've had this problem with other cars--usually the little gear in the electric speedometer has lost a tooth or two . . .

I found a few folks on the web that sell replacement gears (including ipd) at a cost of $25 to $50. Any experience good/bad with any of them?

BTW, I'd heard that one should only reset the odo when the car is at rest--so that's how I've been having him do it, yet we still had this problem. Is the "at rest" advice good, or is it the stuff of "urban legend"?

Thanks in advance!

Steve A-
