Hi all, I know there is a bit of a time-lag between the last message on this thread and this, however I thought I'd add rather than start a fresh.
So I have a 2007 Series III Aero 8 and whilst out this weekend the speedometer threw a fit and decided that the needle should move round the dial to the full stop, past 180mph and just flicker there permanently and at the same time I lost the mileage display from the little LCD screen above the VDO logo. All other clocks working normally and the speedo did retain it's backlighting so there is power there, any ideas?
After I got home and washed the Aero when I started it to put it back in the garage the speedo returned to normal operation and the mileage display also came back showing the correct mileage on odometer and trip counter. Is this a case of MORGAN (Most Owners Regard Gremlins As Normal) or has anyone experienced something similar which requires a more structured cure? If a more structured cure is required is it a rebuild/replacement? Thought I'd ask here before contacting Jamie at BHM.
I'm certainly going to the try apply the 5-second rule suggested above to see if that helps first. It was odd that the speedo was fine when I first turned the car on, it just started to behave oddly after about 10mins of driving. Fingers Crossed!
