records records records 200 1989

I wasn't worried about your records. I know mine are in enough disarray, I could not hope to give advice to anyone else in that area.

But my "??" indicating surprise is finding you had a repair done so many times to the same car. But now I understand. They were not really repairs, just swaps of used parts. We've had our '89 wagon since 2000. A tad less experience than you with yours. It has the original speedometer. Also repaired more than once, as I learned the truth about using the original gears we describe as 25-tooth in order to identify them. If you look at these, and exercise your mind counting teeth, you will find a few missing. :)

I would only offer the advice you have -- about not using the trip reset -- if the repairs were not made, but the used gauges swapped in instead. That was the gist of my point.



Smart is enjoying the satisfaction of driving a 25-year old brick for 15 years, whether you make the repairs or someone who has earned your trust does them. Well, I think so, anyway. Probably not too many contrary opinions to be found on that subject here on this forum.
