Thanks, LTrain & Spenser, looking at your photos and explanations, I dared to lift off the needle - very helpful! What I found: - axis for the 4 gears (blue pointer) has not only the broken part, but is also bent => this is why only the white and the first black roller are moving - this "hook"...

Hello LTrain, thank you! I actually meant the fixation of the small trip meter shown in the picture above - as part of the full Speedo Cluster. You are right, the full cluster is fixed with small screws. But how to get out the trip meter from it? Via the front, I.e. removal of the needle?

Hello everybody, how did you get the odometer unit out of the entire speedo cluster. Through taking off the needle and the dial or via the back of the unit? I am scared to damage the electronic parts... I have the same crack as shown in the last picture and I think it can only be glued with...

We Germans love to build these snail houses on cars - in contrast you will hardly find this on French, Italian or Spanish HDJ80, apparently bc. of the warmer weather? The South Europeans rather put a removable pop-up roof tent on the car and keep the LC as the desirable station wagon. The way...

Hello mudhaters and kylxfj, here I have 2 more pics, how embarrassing, got stuck in the dunes. Cheers, Jochen

Thanks guys! Cool to be here. @IronCladLou: in the Southwest, Heidelberg-Mannheim area. I am aware of 5 80series in this area, not more, they are really a rare species over here.

Hi everybody, thanks for adding me. I have occasionally visited ih8mud, mainly for the huge expertise that you guys have (I will place a question on ABS sensor re-magnetisation). Yet normally I enjoy our German "Buschtaxi-Forum" - are you aware of that, it also has an 80´s-section? As a...
