I'm wondering if anyone would know why the Miles on my Speedo has stopped working..?

Any help would be great..!!

if it is a std one, then a plastic gear has broken off, probably from a poor quality clocking in the past..... get a new one & change the miles over.

if a digi, then I dunno, I don't like them, so I've not done anything with one.

yes, a replacement speedo from a scrapper, then with a little care, you can remove the shaft that the number rollers are on & reset it to your miles.
