hilux tacho

Post by damo lux »

my tacho on my lux no longer works.
the needle appears to have fallen below its stopper :?:
any one have any idea how to fix it short of ripping the dash out?

how theheck did the needle get down past the stop? did it got the long way around and break the return spring? I can't think how you'd fix it without pulling it all apart.
