If the reading is now 375,000, I dread to think what it was. I doubt our members will want to help. I think you are on your own. I certainly don't want to be involved; even if you are in a different country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alasdair Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I would not be at all surprised if the blinking odometer is a result of tampering with the figure..... adjusting/resetting is illegal and probably why it started blinking after the alteration.

Just a thought. Is it that it needs a service, or perhaps (?) In Japan, I've heard that at about 35,000 miles you are required to have an engine rebuild or replace the engine? I can't confirm this is true, but have heard this from about 3 dealers! John Harrison. Wallasey Wirral. (2008 2.4 Vellfire) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
