Re: my previous post, above, I was able to obtain the gears for my speedo and repair it for less than £30. The instructions are accurate and easy to follow. I feel I took my time and was quite careful and it took around 40 mintes to get everything apart and a similair time to get everything back together again. Jeff Caplan was very helpful on the phone, though he took a little while to answer e-mails.

The little cog was a bit soft but still serviceable, the larger one was completely destroyed. Jeff suggested I blew out the mechanism with an airline to make sure all the little bits had come out,as these could easily jam things up later. I used a visual inspection and a big lungfull of air which seemed to work well.

Everything working fine now.

The moderator may remove this paragraph, and I'll understand if he does. I don't intend to tell you how to do it, but it is very easy to 'adjust' the mileage either backwards or forwards. I clicked mine on a few miles to make sure the numbers were rolling over properly.

Now...whats left....still a small oil leak and the right turn indicator has become intermittent again. I'll probably leave these until the big service later in the year, which I am currently saving for [&:]
 
i think there's a write up on this in porsche post this month... quite interesting reading; hopefully mine doesn't need doing anytime soon though, i dont like the sound of that 0.5mm dia shaft the speedo needle fits to (doesnt go too well with my sausage fingers!)
 
Where do you think your oil leak is Colin. I've just fixed the common one with the sender by replacing the O ring with the later version - this was leading to oil on top of the engine that then dripped onto the exhaust. Here's the little blighter with the new ring on and old one removed:

I also saw that write up in PP, but note that the SC is different to the 964 so you need to follow the instructions on the forum not in PP.
