    My 93 SW1 odometer is erratic, it seldom works but the speedometer works
    fine. Sometimes the odometer works but usually it doesn't move. Any
    ideas for a quick cheap fix? Don't bother mentioning the dealer, their
    bills are higher than the worth of the car ;(

    Just replaced the broken odometer gear.

    early model s-series had a weak odo gear which is very common for it to
    break. intermittently working is a sign that it is on the way out. it is a
    tiny little plastic gear inside the gauge cluster that can be replaced.
